$A$ horizontal steel railroad track has a length of $100 \, m$ when the temperature is $25^{\circ} C$. The track is constrained from expanding or bending. The stress on the track on a hot summer day,when the temperature is $40^{\circ} C$,is ............. $\times 10^7 \, Pa$. (Note: The linear coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is $1.1 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$ and the Young's modulus of steel is $2 \times 10^{11} \, Pa$.)

To break a wire of $1 \, m$ length, a minimum weight of $40 \, kg \, wt$ is required. Then, the wire of the same material with double the radius and $6 \, m$ length will require a breaking weight of ....... $kg \, wt$.

$A$ load $W$ produces an extension of $1 \ mm$ in a thread of radius $r$. If the load is increased to $4W$ and the radius is increased to $2r$,while all other factors remain the same,what will be the new extension in $mm$?

If the ratio of diameters,lengths and Young's moduli of steel and brass wires shown in the figure are $p, q$ and $r$ respectively,then the corresponding ratio of increase in their lengths would be
