When a wire of length $L$ clamped at one end is pulled by a force $F$ from the other end,its length increases by $l$. If the radius of the wire and the applied force were halved,then the increase in its length is

    $l$
  • B
    $2l$
  • C
    $0.5l$
  • D
    $4l$

One end of a steel rod of radius $10.0 \ mm$ and length $50.0 \ cm$ is clamped on a horizontal table. The other end of the rod is pulled with a force of magnitude $10.0 \times \pi \ kN$. This force is uniform across the flat surface of the rod and is perpendicular to it. The change in the length of the rod due to this applied force is (Use Young's modulus $= 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$) (in $mm$)

$A$ $5\, m$ long aluminium wire $(Y = 7 \times 10^{10}\, N/m^2)$ of diameter $3\, mm$ supports a $40\, kg$ mass. In order to have the same elongation in a copper wire $(Y = 12 \times 10^{10}\, N/m^2)$ of the same length under the same weight,the diameter should now be,in $mm$.

The Young's modulus of a rubber string $8\, cm$ long and density $1.5\, kg/m^3$ is $5 \times 10^8\, N/m^2$. If it is suspended from the ceiling in a room,the increase in length due to its own weight will be:

On increasing the length by $0.5\, mm$ in a steel wire of length $2\, m$ and area of cross-section $2\, mm^2$,the force required is ($Y$ for steel $= 2.2 \times 10^{11}\, N/m^2$).

$A$ steel wire of length $20 \text{ cm}$ and area of cross-section $1 \text{ mm}^2$ is tied rigidly at both the ends. When the temperature of the wire is changed from $40^{\circ} \text{C}$ to $20^{\circ} \text{C}$, find the change in its tension. Given, the coefficient of linear expansion for steel is $\alpha = 1.1 \times 10^{-5} {}^{\circ} \text{C}^{-1}$ and Young's modulus of steel is $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \text{ N/m}^2$.
