Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50 \times 10^{3} \; \text{kg}$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $50 \; \text{cm}$ and $100 \; \text{cm}$ respectively. Assuming uniform load distribution,calculate the compressive strain of each column. [Use $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; \text{Pa}$,$g = 9.8 \; \text{m/s}^2$]

  • A
    $3.60 \times 10^{-8}$
  • B
    $2.60 \times 10^{-7}$
  • C
    $1.87 \times 10^{-3}$
  • D
    $7.07 \times 10^{-4}$

$A$ wire extends by $1 \ mm$ when a force is applied. If double the force is applied to another wire of the same material and length but half the radius of the cross-section,what will be the elongation of the wire in $mm$?

$A$ brass rod of length $2\,m$ and cross-sectional area $2.0\,cm^2$ is attached end to end to a steel rod of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $1.0\,cm^2$. The compound rod is subjected to equal and opposite pulls of magnitude $5 \times 10^4\,N$ at its ends. If the elongations of the two rods are equal,then the length of the steel rod $(L)$ is ........... $m$ $(Y_{Brass}=1.0\times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$ and $Y_{Steel} = 2.0 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$.

$A$ steel rod has a radius of $50 \ mm$ and a length of $2 \ m$. It is stretched along its length with a force of $400 \ kN$. This causes an elongation of $0.5 \ mm$. Find the (approximate) Young's modulus of steel from this information.
