(N/A) $plastic$ $body$ is a material that does not regain its original shape and size after the removal of the deforming force. Such materials undergo permanent deformation.
$Plasticity$ is the property of a material by virtue of which it does not regain its original shape and size after the removal of the deforming force. In other words,it is the inability of a body to recover its original configuration after the deforming force is removed. Examples include clay,putty,and lead.

The value of tension in a long thin metal wire has been changed from $T_{1}$ to $T_{2}$. The lengths of the metal wire at two different values of tension $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ are $l_{1}$ and $l_{2}$ respectively. The actual length of the metal wire is:

$A$ rod of constant cross-section moves towards the right with constant acceleration $a$. The graph of stress versus distance from the left end is shown in the figure. If the density of the material of the rod at cross-section $1$ is $9 \text{ g/cm}^3$,find the density at cross-section $2$ in $\text{g/cm}^3$.
