$A$ structural steel rod has a radius of $10 \;mm$ and a length of $1.0 \;m$. $A$ $100 \;kN$ force stretches it along its length. Calculate $(a)$ stress,$(b)$ elongation,and $(c)$ strain on the rod. Young's modulus of structural steel is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \;N \;m^{-2}$.

Two metal wires $A$ and $B$ have lengths $L$ and $3L$ respectively. The radii of the cross-sectional circular areas of wires $A$ and $B$ are $R$ and $2R$,respectively. These wires are joined end-to-end along their axis. When one end of the combined system is fixed and the other end is pulled with a constant force $F$,the elongation in both wires is equal. If $Y_A$ and $Y_B$ are the Young's moduli of wires $A$ and $B$,respectively,then the ratio $Y_B / Y_A$ is:

Young's modulus of the material of a wire of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is $Y$. If the length of the wire is doubled and the cross-sectional area is halved,then the Young's modulus will be:

$A$ wire of length $2L$ is fixed between two walls. When a weight $W = mg$ is applied at its midpoint,it sags by a distance $x$ $(x << L)$. Then $m$ is equal to:
