$A$ steel rod with a circular cross-section of diameter $1 \ cm$ and another steel rod with a square cross-section of side $1 \ cm$ have equal mass. If the two rods are subjected to the same tension,the ratio of the elongations of the two rods is

$A$ $3 \ m$ long wire of radius $3 \ mm$ shows an extension of $0.1 \ mm$ when loaded vertically by a mass of $50 \ kg$ in an experiment to determine Young's modulus. The value of Young's modulus of the wire as per this experiment is $P \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$,where the value of $P$ is: (Take $g = 3 \pi \ m/s^2$)

Which coefficient of elasticity is responsible for the propagation of a wave in a string?

$A$ student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly $2 \,m$ long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be $0.8 \,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.05 \,mm$ at a load of exactly $1.0 \,kg$. The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be $0.4 \,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \,mm$. Take $g=9.8 \,m/s^2$ (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is

What is bending? How can bending problems be prevented,and what is buckling?

Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the difference in their elongations is $0.5 \ cm$,find the elongation $(l)$ of each wire. Given: ${Y_s} = 2.0 \times {10^{11}} \ N/m^2$ and ${Y_c} = 1.2 \times {10^{11}} \ N/m^2$.
