Two copper wires $A$ and $B$ of lengths in the ratio $1: 2$ and diameters in the ratio $3: 2$ are stretched by forces in the ratio $3: 1$. The ratio of the elastic potential energies stored per unit volume in the wires $A$ and $B$ is

The stress versus strain graphs for wires of two materials $A$ and $B$ are as shown in the figure. If $Y_A$ and $Y_B$ are the Young's modulus of the materials,then

For four wires made of the same material,if the same force is applied,in which wire will the increase in length be maximum?

$A$ uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus $Y$ and has a normal,unextended length $L$. The radii at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire have values $R$ and $3R$,respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass $M$ is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length of this wire would be:

One end of a metal wire is fixed to a ceiling and a load of $2 \ kg$ hangs from the other end. $A$ similar wire is attached to the bottom of the load and another load of $1 \ kg$ hangs from this lower wire. Then the ratio of longitudinal strain of the upper wire to that of the lower wire will be . . . . . . .
[Area of cross section of wire $= 0.005 \ cm^2$,$Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$ and $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$]

$A$ metal string $A$ is suspended from a rigid support and its free end is attached to a block of mass $M$. $A$ second block having mass $2M$ is suspended at the bottom of the first block using a string $B$. The area of cross-sections of strings $A$ and $B$ are the same. The ratio of lengths of strings $A$ to $B$ is $2$ and the ratio of their Young's moduli $(Y_A/Y_B)$ is $0.5$. The ratio of elongations in $A$ to $B$ is . . . . . . .
