Under the same load,wire $A$ having length $5.0 \, m$ and cross-section $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m^2$ stretches uniformly by the same amount as another wire $B$ of length $6.0 \, m$ and a cross-section of $3.0 \times 10^{-5} \, m^2$ stretches. The ratio of the Young's modulus of wire $A$ to that of wire $B$ will be

  • A
    $1:4$
  • B
    $1:1$
  • C
    $1:10$

$A$ steel wire of length $L$ at $40^{\circ} C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass $m$ is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ to regain its original length $L$. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $\alpha = 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$,Young's modulus of steel is $Y = 10^{11} N/m^2$,and the radius of the wire is $r = 1 \ mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of $m$ in $kg$ is nearly:

The dimensional formula for Young's modulus is

The figure represents the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\text{ m}$, suspended from the ceiling of a room at one end with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-5}\text{ m}^2$, then the Young's modulus of the wire is . . . . . . $\text{N/m}^2$.

The elongation of a wire on the surface of the earth is $10^{-4} \; m$. The same wire of same dimensions is elongated by $6 \times 10^{-5} \; m$ on another planet. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet will be $\dots \; m/s^2$. (Take acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth $= 10 \; m/s^2$)

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of same length, same radius and same Young's modulus are heated to the same range of temperatures. If the coefficient of linear expansion of $A$ is $\frac{3}{2}$ times that of $B$, then the ratio of the thermal stresses produced in the two wires $A$ and $B$ is
