$A$ metallic rod $1 \, cm$ long with a square cross-section is heated through $1^{\circ} C$. If Young's modulus of elasticity of the metal is $E$ and the mean coefficient of linear expansion is $\alpha$ per degree Celsius,then the compressional force required to prevent the rod from expanding along its length is: (Neglect the change of cross-sectional area)

  • A
    $EA\alpha t$
  • B
    $EA\alpha t / (1 + \alpha t)$
  • C
    $EA\alpha t / (1 - \alpha t)$
  • D
    $E / \alpha t$

$A$ wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular parts (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross-sectional area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slightly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel,it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just slips over the wheel. As it cools down to the surrounding temperature,it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$,and its Young's modulus is $Y$,the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is:

The Young's modulus of a wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is $Y \, N/m^2$. What will be the Young's modulus of a wire made of the same material with length $L/2$ and radius $r/2$?

Two wires of the same length and same cross-sectional area are suspended as shown in the figure. Their Young's moduli are $Y_1$ and $Y_2$. What is their equivalent Young's modulus?

In Young's experiment,if the length of the wire and the radius are both doubled,then the value of $Y$ will become:

The lengths of four wires $A, B, C$ and $D$ made of the same material are $1 \,m, 2 \,m, 3 \,m$ and $4 \,m$ respectively. The radii of the wires $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $0.2 \,mm, 0.4 \,mm, 0.6 \,mm$ and $0.8 \,mm$ respectively. For the same applied tension,the elongation is more in which wire?
