$A$ steel wire of length $L$ at $40^{\circ}C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass $m$ is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ to regain its original length $L$. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$,Young's modulus of steel is $10^{11} N/m^2$,and the radius of the wire is $1 mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of $m$ in $kg$ is nearly:

The following four wires are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension when the same tension is applied?

$A$ block of weight $100 \ N$ is suspended by copper and steel wires of same cross-sectional area $0.5 \ cm^2$ and lengths $\sqrt{3} \ m$ and $1 \ m$,respectively. Their other ends are fixed on a ceiling as shown in the figure. The angles subtended by the copper and steel wires with the ceiling are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$,respectively. If the elongation in the copper wire is $\Delta \ell_C$ and the elongation in the steel wire is $\Delta \ell_S$,then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \ell_C}{\Delta \ell_S}$ is. . . . . .
[Young's modulus for copper and steel are $1 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and $2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ respectively]

Two wires of diameter $0.25 \; cm,$ one made of steel and the other made of brass,are loaded as shown in the figure. The unloaded length of the steel wire is $1.5 \; m$ and that of the brass wire is $1.0 \; m.$ Compute the elongations of the steel and the brass wires. (Given: Young's modulus of steel $Y_s = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; Pa,$ Young's modulus of brass $Y_b = 0.91 \times 10^{11} \; Pa$)

$A$ uniform plank of Young's modulus $Y$ is moved over a smooth horizontal surface by a constant horizontal force $F$. The area of cross-section of the plank is $A$. The compressive strain on the plank in the direction of the force is

The length of a metal wire is $L$,when it is subjected to tension $T$. If the tension is increased to $T+\Delta T$,the length becomes $L+\Delta L$. The natural length of the wire is
