$A$ uniform cylindrical rod of length $L$ and radius $r$ is made from a material whose Young's modulus of elasticity equals $Y$. When this rod is heated by temperature $T$ and simultaneously subjected to a net longitudinal compressional force $F$,its length remains unchanged. The coefficient of volume expansion of the material of the rod is (nearly) equal to:

The density of a rubber cord is $d$. $A$ thick rubber cord of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ undergoes elongation under its own weight when suspended vertically. This elongation is proportional to:

$A$ 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 $\alpha = 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$,Young's modulus of steel is $Y = 10^{11} N/m^2$,and the radius of the wire is $r = 1 \ mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of $m$ in $kg$ is nearly:

$A$ 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

What is the percentage increase in length of a wire of diameter $2.5 \,mm$,stretched by a force of $100 \,kg$ wt? (Young's modulus of elasticity of wire $= 12.5 \times 10^{11} \,dyne/cm^2$)

Four identical rods are stretched by the same force. The maximum extension is produced in:
