Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50 \times 10^{3} \; \text{kg}$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $50 \; \text{cm}$ and $100 \; \text{cm}$ respectively. Assuming uniform load distribution,calculate the compressive strain of each column. [Use $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; \text{Pa}$,$g = 9.8 \; \text{m/s}^2$]

$A$ uniform dense rod with non-uniform Young's modulus is hanging from the ceiling under gravity. If the elastic energy density at every point is the same,then how will Young's modulus change with $x$ as shown in the graphs?

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?

$A$ rod is fixed between two points at $20\,^oC$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the rod is $1.1 \times 10^{-5}/\,^oC$ and Young's modulus is $1.2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$. Find the stress developed in the rod if the temperature of the rod becomes $10\,^oC$.
