The length of a rod is $20 \, cm$ and the area of cross-section is $2 \, cm^2$. The Young's modulus of the material of the rod is $1.4 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$. If the rod is compressed by a force of $5 \, kg-wt$ along its length,then the increase in the elastic potential energy of the rod in joules will be:

Two wires of the same material and length but diameters in the ratio $1:2$ are stretched by the same force. The elastic potential energy per unit volume for the wires,when stretched by the same force,will be in the ratio: (in $:1$)

The work done per unit volume to stretch a wire of cross-sectional area $2 \, mm^2$ by $2 \%$ is ....... $MJ/m^3$. Given: Young's modulus $Y = 8 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$.

$A$ copper wire of length $3 \text{ m}$ is stretched by $3 \text{ mm}$ by applying an external force. The volume of the wire is $600 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}^3$. The elastic potential energy stored in the wire in the stretched condition is . . . . . . $\text{J}$. (Given Young's modulus of copper $Y = 1.1 \times 10^{11} \text{ N/m}^2$)

When a force is applied on a wire of uniform cross-sectional area $3 \times 10^{-6} \, m^2$ and length $4 \, m$,the increase in length is $1 \, mm$. The energy stored in it will be $(Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2)$. (in $, J$)
