If the length of a wire is made double and the radius is halved of its respective values,then the Young's modulus of the material of the wire will:

  • A
    Remain the same
  • B
    Become $8$ times its initial value
  • C
    Become $\frac{1}{4}$ of its initial value
  • D
    Become $4$ times its initial value

When a uniform wire of radius $r$ is stretched by a $2 \, kg$ weight,the increase in its length is $2.00 \, mm$. If the radius of the wire is $r/2$ and other conditions remain the same,the increase in its length is .......... $mm$. (in $.00$)

Two separate wires $A$ and $B$ are stretched by $2 \, mm$ and $4 \, mm$ respectively,when they are subjected to a force of $2 \, N$. Assume that both the wires are made up of the same material and the radius of wire $B$ is $4$ times that of the radius of wire $A$. The lengths of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio of $a : b$. Then $a / b$ can be expressed as $1 / x$ where $x$ is:

$A$ block of weight $100 \ N$ is suspended by copper and steel wires of same cross-sectional area $0.5 \ cm^2$ and lengths $\sqrt{3} \ m$ and $1 \ m$,respectively. Their other ends are fixed on a ceiling as shown in the figure. The angles subtended by the copper and steel wires with the ceiling are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$,respectively. If the elongation in the copper wire is $\Delta \ell_C$ and the elongation in the steel wire is $\Delta \ell_S$,then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \ell_C}{\Delta \ell_S}$ is. . . . . .
[Young's modulus for copper and steel are $1 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and $2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ respectively]

As shown in the figure,in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire,the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the load axis. The length of the wire is $62.8\,cm$ and its diameter is $4\,mm$. The Young's modulus is found to be $x \times 10^4\,N/m^2$. The value of $x$ is

If the ratio of lengths,radii,and Young's moduli of steel and brass wires in the figure are $a, b,$ and $c$ respectively,then the corresponding ratio of increase in their lengths is
