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

Two similar wires under the same load yield elongations of $0.1 \ mm$ and $0.05 \ mm$ respectively. If the area of cross-section of the first wire is $4 \ mm^2$,then the area of cross-section of the second wire is..... $mm^2$.

$A$ $100\,m$ long wire having cross-sectional area $6.25 \times 10^{-4}\,m^2$ and Young's modulus $10^{10}\,N/m^2$ is subjected to a load of $250\,N$. The elongation in the wire will be:

$A$ wire elongates by $l \ mm$ when a load $W$ is hanged from it. If the wire goes over a pulley and two weights $W$ each are hung at the two ends,the elongation of the wire will be (in $mm$)

$A$ steel wire of length $4.7\; m$ and cross-sectional area $3.0 \times 10^{-5}\; m^{2}$ stretches by the same amount as a copper wire of length $3.5\; m$ and cross-sectional area of $4.0 \times 10^{-5}\; m^{2}$ under a given load. What is the ratio of the Young's modulus of steel to that of copper?
