$A$ 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

The dimensions of four wires of the same material are given below. In which wire will the increase in length be maximum when the same tension is applied?

$A$ 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:

When a wire of length $L$ clamped at one end is pulled by a force $F$ from the other end,its length increases by $l$. If the radius of the wire and the applied force were halved,then the increase in its length is

$A$ block of mass $2 \ kg$ is tied to one end of a $2 \ m$ long metal wire of $1.0 \ mm^2$ area of cross-section and rotated in a vertical circle such that the tension in the wire is zero at the highest point. If the maximum elongation in the wire is $2 \ mm$,the Young's modulus of the metal is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$)
