$A$ rod of length $1000\, mm$ and coefficient of linear expansion $a = 10^{-4}$ per degree is placed symmetrically between fixed walls separated by $1001\, mm$. The Young’s modulus of the rod is $10^{11} N/m^2$. If the temperature is increased by $20^o C$, then the stress developed in the rod is ........... $MPa$
$100$

In a human pyramid in a circus, the entire weight of the balanced group is supported by the legs of a performer who is lying on his back. The combined mass of all the persons performing the act, and the tables, plaques etc. Involved is $280\; kg$. The mass of the performer lying on his back at the bottom of the pyramid is $60\; kg$. Each thighbone (femur) of this performer has a length of $50\; cm$ and an effective radius of $2.0\; cm$. Determine the amount by which each thighbone gets compressed under the extra load.
The force required to stretch a wire of crosssection $1 cm ^{2}$ to double its length will be ........ $ \times 10^{7}\,N$
(Given Yong's modulus of the wire $=2 \times 10^{11}\,N / m ^{2}$ )
With rise in temperature, the Young's modulus of elasticity
Four uniform wires of the same material are stretched by the same force. The dimensions of wire are as given below. The one which has the minimum elongation has
A truck is pulling a car out of a ditch by means of a steel cable that is $9.1\,m$ long and has a radius of $5\,mm$, when the car just begins to move the tension in the cable is $800\,N$. How much has the cable stretched ? (Young’s modulus for steel is $ 2 \times 10^{11}\,Nm^{-2}$)
