A wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force $f$ its length increases by $l$. Another wire of the same material of length $2L$ and radius $2r$ is pulled by a force $2f$. Then find the increase in length of this wire.
An elastic material of Young's modulus $Y$ is subjected to a stress $S$. The elastic energy stored per unit volume of the material is
Two persons pull a wire towards themselves. Each person exerts a force of $200 \mathrm{~N}$ on the wire. Young's modulus of the material of wire is $1 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}$. Original length of the wire is $2 \mathrm{~m}$ and the area of cross section is $2 \mathrm{~cm}^2$. The wire will extend in length by . . . . . . . .$\mu \mathrm{m}$.
There are two wire of same material and same length while the diameter of second wire is two times the diameter of first wire, then the ratio of extension produced in the wires by applying same load will be
Two separate wires $A$ and $B$ are stretched by $2 \,mm$ and $4\, mm$ respectively, when they are subjected to a force of $2\, N$. Assume that both the wires are made up of same material and the radius of wire $B$ is 4 times that of the radius of wire $A$. The length of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio of $a : b$. Then $a / b$ can be expressed as $1 / x$ where $x$ is
