$A$ truck is pulling a car out of a ditch by means of a steel cable that is $9.1 \, m$ long and has a radius of $5 \, mm$. When the car just begins to move,the tension in the cable is $800 \, N$. How much has the cable stretched? (Young's modulus for steel is $2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$)

  • A
    $4.64 \times 10^{-4} \, m$
  • B
    $2.32 \times 10^{-4} \, m$
  • C
    $9.28 \times 10^{-4} \, m$
  • D
    $1.16 \times 10^{-4} \, m$

The interatomic distance for a metal is $3 \times 10^{-10} \ m$. If the interatomic force constant is $3.6 \times 10^{-9} \ N/\mathring{A}$,then the Young's modulus in $N/m^2$ will be:

$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force $F$,the increase in length is $l$. If another wire of the same material but double the length and double the radius is stretched with a force $2F$,then the increase in length is:

$A$ wire of cross-sectional area $3 \, mm^2$ is first stretched between two fixed points at a temperature of $20^{\circ}C$. Determine the tension in the wire when the temperature falls to $10^{\circ}C$. Given: Coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 10^{-5} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ and Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$.

Two metallic wires $P$ and $Q$ have the same volume and are made up of the same material. If their areas of cross-section are in the ratio $4:1$ and a force $F_1$ is applied to $P$,an extension of $\Delta l$ is produced. The force required to produce the same extension in $Q$ is $F_2$. The value of $\frac{F_1}{F_2}$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ thick brass wire of length $L$ and density $\rho$ is suspended from a rigid support. Due to its own weight,$\ell$ is the increase in length. The Young's modulus $Y$ of the brass wire in terms of density is $(g = \text{acceleration due to gravity})$
