$A$ sphere of mass $2 \,kg$ and diameter $4.5 \,cm$ is attached to the lower end of a steel wire of $2 \,m$ length and area of cross-section $0.24 \times 10^{-6} \,m^2$. The wire is suspended from a $205 \,cm$ high ceiling of a room. When the system is made to oscillate as a simple pendulum, the sphere just grazes the floor at its lowest position. Find the velocity of the sphere at the lowest position. (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,Nm^{-2}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,ms^{-1}$)

Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the total elongation is $2 \,cm$,then how much is the elongation in steel and copper wire respectively? Given,$Y_{\text{steel}} = 20 \times 10^{11} \,dyne/cm^2$,$Y_{\text{copper}} = 12 \times 10^{11} \,dyne/cm^2$.

Two wires of diameter $0.25 \; cm,$ one made of steel and the other made of brass,are loaded as shown in the figure. The unloaded length of the steel wire is $1.5 \; m$ and that of the brass wire is $1.0 \; m.$ Compute the elongations of the steel and the brass wires. (Given: Young's modulus of steel $Y_s = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; Pa,$ Young's modulus of brass $Y_b = 0.91 \times 10^{11} \; Pa$)

When a uniform wire of radius $r$ is stretched by a $2 \, kg$ weight,the increase in its length is $2.00 \, mm$. If the radius of the wire is $r/2$ and other conditions remain the same,the increase in its length is .......... $mm$. (in $.00$)

As shown in the figure,in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire,the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the load axis. The length of the wire is $62.8\,cm$ and its diameter is $4\,mm$. The Young's modulus is found to be $x \times 10^4\,N/m^2$. The value of $x$ is

The ratio of Young's modulus of three wires is $2 : 2 : 1$ and the ratio of their cross-sectional areas is $1 : 2 : 3$. If the same force is applied to each,what is the ratio of the increase in their lengths?
