Under the same load,wire $A$ having length $5.0 \, m$ and cross-section $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m^2$ stretches uniformly by the same amount as another wire $B$ of length $6.0 \, m$ and a cross-section of $3.0 \times 10^{-5} \, m^2$ stretches. The ratio of the Young's modulus of wire $A$ to that of wire $B$ will be

The adjacent graph shows the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\, m$ suspended from the top of a roof at one end and with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6}\, m^2$,calculate the Young's modulus of the material of the wire.

If the temperature of a wire of length $2 \,m$ and area of cross-section $1 \,cm^2$ is increased from $0^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ and is not allowed to increase in length,then the force required for it is ............$N$ $\{Y=10^{10} \,N/m^2, \alpha=10^{-6}/^{\circ}C\}$
