$A$ wire of cross-sectional area $10^{-6} \, m^2$ is stretched such that its length increases by $0.1\%$. If the tension produced in the wire is $1000 \, N$, calculate the Young's modulus of the wire.

  • A
    $10^{12} \, N/m^2$
  • B
    $10^{11} \, N/m^2$
  • C
    $10^{10} \, N/m^2$
  • D
    $10^{9} \, N/m^2$

In which case is there maximum extension in the wire,if the same force is applied to each wire?

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$,how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?

$A$ load of $1 \,kg$ weight is attached to one end of a steel wire of area of cross-section $3 \,mm^2$ and Young's modulus $10^{11} \,N/m^2$. The other end is suspended vertically from a hook on a wall, then the load is pulled horizontally and released. When the load passes through its lowest position, the fractional change in length is $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$.

The Young's modulus for steel is much more than that for rubber. For the same longitudinal strain,which one will have greater tensile stress?
