$A$ steel wire of length $3.2 \, m$ $(Y_{S} = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^{2})$ and a copper wire of length $4.4 \, m$ $(Y_{C} = 1.1 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^{2})$,both of radius $1.4 \, mm$,are connected end to end. When stretched by a load,the net elongation is found to be $1.4 \, mm$. The load applied,in Newtons,is. (Given $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)

Two wires of copper having the lengths in the ratio $4:1$ and their radii in the ratio $1:4$ are stretched by the same force. The ratio of longitudinal strain in the two will be

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. (Take Young's modulus for bone $Y = 9.4 \times 10^9 \; N/m^2$)

Young's moduli of two wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $7 : 4$. Wire $A$ is $2\, m$ long and has radius $R$. Wire $B$ is $1.5\, m$ long and has radius $2\, mm$. If the two wires stretch by the same length for a given load,then the value of $R$ is close to ......... $mm$.

Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5} \ m$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$. The longitudinal strain developed in the wire is $\frac{1}{\alpha \pi}$. The value of $\alpha$ is [Use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$].

$A$ uniform heavy rod of mass $20\,kg$,cross-sectional area $0.4\,m^{2}$,and length $20\,m$ is hanging from a fixed support. Neglecting the lateral contraction,the elongation in the rod due to its own weight is $x \times 10^{-9}\,m$. The value of $x$ is (Given: Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^{2}$ and $g = 10\,m/s^{2}$)
