There are two wires of the same material and same length. If the diameter of the second wire is two times the diameter of the first wire,then the ratio of the extension produced in the wires by applying the same load will be:

  • A
    $1 : 1$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • C
    $1 : 2$
  • D
    $4 : 1$

Two wires of copper having the lengths in the ratio $4:1$ and their radii in the ratio $1:4$ are stretched by the same force. The ratio of longitudinal strain in the two will be

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$,how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?

The ratio of Young's modulus of three wires is $2 : 2 : 1$ and the ratio of their cross-sectional areas is $1 : 2 : 3$. If the same force is applied to each,what is the ratio of the increase in their lengths?

$A$ uniform steel rod of mass $1.8 \,kg$ and length $0.8 \,m$ is hung from a nail with the help of two steel wires,each of area of cross-section $0.01 \,mm^2$ and unstretched length $0.5 \,m$,as shown in the figure. The centre of mass of the rod lies vertically below the nail. The increase in the distance between the centre of mass of the rod and the nail due to stretching of the wires as the rod hangs is . . . . . . $mm$. (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$)

$A$ load of mass $M \ kg$ is suspended from a steel wire of length $2 \ m$ and radius $1.0 \ mm$ in Searle's apparatus experiment. The increase in length produced in the wire is $4.0 \ mm$. Now,the load is fully immersed in a liquid of relative density $2$. The relative density of the material of the load is $8$. The new value of increase in length of the steel wire is ........ $mm$.
