$A$ $500 \,g$ ball is attached to one end of an aluminum wire of area of cross-section $0.5 \,mm^2$ and an unstretched length of $1.4 \,m$. The other end of the wire is fixed to the top of a vertical pole. The ball rotates about the pole in a horizontal plane such that the angle between the wire and the horizontal is $30^{\circ}$. The increase in the length of the wire is . . . . . . $mm$. (Young's modulus of aluminum $= 0.7 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$)

$A$ $5\, m$ 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 area of a cross-section of a steel wire is $0.1 \, cm^2$ and Young's modulus of steel is $2 \times 10^{11} \, N \, m^{-2}$. The force required to stretch it by $0.1 \%$ of its original length is ......... $N$.

Consider a rod of length $1.0 \ m$ with a cross-sectional area of $0.50 \ cm^2$. The rod supports a $500 \ kg$ platform that hangs attached to the rod's lower end. What is the elongation of the rod under the stress,ignoring the weight of the rod (in $mm$)? Consider Young's modulus to be $10^{11} \ Pa$ and $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.
