Three bars having lengths $l, 2l$,and $3l$ and areas of cross-section $A, 2A$,and $3A$ are joined rigidly end to end. The compound rod is subjected to a stretching force $F$. The total increase in the length of the rod is (Young's modulus of the material is $Y$ and the bars are massless).

  • A
    $\frac{13 Fl}{2AY}$
  • B

What is the velocity of sound in a perfectly rigid rod? Why?

When a weight of $10 \,kg$ is suspended from a copper wire of length $3 \,m$ and diameter $0.4 \,mm$, its length increases by $2.4 \,cm$. If the diameter of the wire is doubled, then the extension in its length will be (in $\,cm$)

The force required to stretch a wire of cross-section $1 \ cm^{2}$ to double its length will be ........ $\times 10^{7} \ N$. (Given Young's modulus of the wire $= 2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^{2}$)

$A$ $14.5\; kg$ mass,fastened to the end of a steel wire of unstretched length $1.0\; m$,is whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity of $2\; rev/s$ at the bottom of the circle. The cross-sectional area of the wire is $0.065\; cm^2$. Calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path.
