  • A
    $n^2$ times
  • B
    $n$ times
  • C
    $2n$ times
  • D

The ratio of the lengths of two wires of the same material is $1:2$ and the ratio of their radii is $1:\sqrt{2}$. If they are stretched by the same force,what is the ratio of the increase in their lengths?

$A$ rod of uniform cross-sectional area $A$ and length $L$ has a weight $W$. It is suspended vertically from a fixed support. If Young's modulus for the rod is $Y$,then the elongation produced in the rod due to its own weight is:

What should be the diameter of a copper wire $(Y=12 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2)$ of length $5 \text{ m}$ to produce the same elongation produced by a $5 \text{ m}$ long aluminium wire $(Y=7 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2)$ of diameter $3 \text{ mm}$ with the same $40 \text{ kg}$ mass (in $\text{ mm}$)?

$A$ cylindrical rod made of aluminum has a length of $1 \,m$ and a diameter of $10 \,cm$. The rod is subjected to a tensile force of $100 \,kN$. Calculate the elongation in the rod. (Young's modulus of aluminum $= 70 \,GPa$)

Stress required in a wire to produce $0.1\%$ strain is $4 \times 10^8 \, N/m^2$. Its Young's modulus is $Y_1$. If stress required in another wire to produce $0.3\%$ strain is $6 \times 10^8 \, N/m^2$,and its Young's modulus is $Y_2$,which relation is correct?
