Wires $A$ and $B$ are connected with blocks $P$ and $Q$ as shown. The ratio of lengths,radii,and Young's modulus of wires $A$ and $B$ are $r, 2r$,and $3r$ respectively ($r$ is a constant). Find the mass of block $P$ if the ratio of the increase in their corresponding lengths is $1/(6r^2)$. The mass of block $Q$ is $3M$.

$A$ force of $10^3 \ N$ stretches the length of a hanging wire by $1 \ mm$. The force required to stretch a wire of the same material and length,but having four times the diameter,by $1 \ mm$ is:

In an experiment,brass and steel wires of length $1\,m$ each with areas of cross-section $1\,mm^2$ are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support,while the other end is subjected to an elongation. The stress required to produce a total elongation of $0.2\,mm$ is: [Given: Young's Modulus for steel and brass are $120 \times 10^9\,N/m^2$ and $60 \times 10^9\,N/m^2$ respectively]

$A$ rigid massless rod of length $6L$ is suspended horizontally by means of two elastic rods $PQ$ and $RS$ as shown in the figure. Their area of cross-section,Young's modulus,and lengths are mentioned in the figure. Find the deflection of end $S$ in the equilibrium state. The free end of the rigid rod is pushed down by a constant force $F$. $A$ is the area of cross-section,$Y$ is Young's modulus of elasticity.

Two wires $A$ and $B$ are made of the same material. Their diameters are in the ratio of $1: 2$ and their lengths are in the ratio of $1: 3$. If they are stretched by the same force,then the increase in their lengths will be in the ratio of:
