$A$ stretched wire of a material whose Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$ has Poisson's ratio $\sigma = 0.25$. Its lateral strain is $\varepsilon_l = 10^{-3}$. The elastic energy density of the wire is:

$A$ wire of cross-sectional area $A$,modulus of elasticity $2 \times 10^{11} \text{ N m}^{-2}$,and length $2L = 2 \text{ m}$ is stretched between two vertical rigid supports. When a mass of $2 \text{ kg}$ is suspended at the middle,it sags from its original position,making an angle $\theta = \frac{1}{100} \text{ radian}$ with the horizontal at the points of support. The value of $A$ is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2$. (Given: $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

The mass and length of a wire are $M$ and $L$ respectively. The density of the material of the wire is $d$. On applying a force $F$ on the wire,the increase in length is $l$. Then,the Young's modulus of the material of the wire will be:

$A$ force of $10^3 \ N$ stretches the length of a hanging wire by $1 \ mm$. The force required to stretch a wire of the same material and length,but having four times the diameter,by $1 \ mm$ is:

$A$ steel rod of radius $20 \ mm$ and length $2 \ m$ is acted upon by a force of $400 \ kN$ along its length. The values of stress and strain are respectively $(Y_{\text{steel}} = 2 \times 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2})$.
