The property of a material which opposes the change in shape,volume,or length is called

According to Hooke's law,force is proportional to:

The cross-sectional areas of steel and brass wires are $0.1 \,cm^2$ and $0.2 \,cm^2$ respectively. If the same stress is produced in both by a weight $W$,what is the ratio of the tensions $T_1/T_2$?

Explain what is stress? Write its unit and dimensional formula.

The length of an elastic string is $a$ metres when the longitudinal tension is $4 \ N$ and $b$ metres when the longitudinal tension is $5 \ N$. The length of the string in metres when the longitudinal tension is $9 \ N$ is

Anvils made of single crystals of diamond,with the shape as shown in the figure,are used to investigate the behavior of materials under very high pressures. The flat faces at the narrow end of the anvil have a diameter of $0.50 \; mm$,and the wide ends are subjected to a compressional force of $50,000 \; N$. What is the pressure at the tip of the anvil?
