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]

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a light string passing over a pulley as shown in the figure. If the cross-sectional area of the string is $S$,its length is $L$,and its Young's modulus is $Y$,what is the elongation in the string?

When a certain weight is suspended from a long uniform wire,its length increases by $1 \ cm$. If the same weight is suspended from another wire of the same material and length but having a diameter half of the first one,then the increase in length will be ........ $cm$.

Young's moduli of two wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $7 : 4$. Wire $A$ is $2\, m$ long and has radius $R$. Wire $B$ is $1.5\, m$ long and has radius $2\, mm$. If the two wires stretch by the same length for a given load,then the value of $R$ is close to ......... $mm$.

$A$ block of mass $2 \ kg$ is tied to one end of a $2 \ m$ long metal wire of $1.0 \ mm^2$ area of cross-section and rotated in a vertical circle such that the tension in the wire is zero at the highest point. If the maximum elongation in the wire is $2 \ mm$, the Young's modulus of the metal is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$)
