The figure represents the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\text{ m}$, suspended from the ceiling of a room at one end with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-5}\text{ m}^2$, then the Young's modulus of the wire is . . . . . . $\text{N/m}^2$.

An object of mass $15 \,kg$ is attached to the end of a metal wire of unstretched length $1.0 \,m$. The object is then whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity of $4 \,rad/s$ at the bottom of the circle. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $0.05 \,cm^2$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$, then calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path. (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,mm$)

When a load $W$ is hung from a wire of length $2L$,it just breaks. Now this wire is completely melted and a new wire of length $L$ is formed. If the load $W$ is hung from this new wire,what happens?

$A$ metal rod of Young's modulus $Y$ and coefficient of thermal expansion $\alpha$ is held at its two ends such that its length remains invariant. If its temperature is raised by $t^{\circ} C$,the linear stress developed in it is

The elongation of a wire on the surface of the earth is $10^{-4} \; m$. The same wire of same dimensions is elongated by $6 \times 10^{-5} \; m$ on another planet. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet will be $\dots \; m/s^2$. (Take acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth $= 10 \; m/s^2$)

$A$ steel wire of length $L$ at $40^{\circ}C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass $m$ is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ to regain its original length $L$. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$,Young's modulus of steel is $10^{11} N/m^2$,and the radius of the wire is $1 mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of $m$ in $kg$ is nearly:
