Name the property of a material by which it opposes the deformation.

The longitudinal strain is only possible in

Hooke's law defines:

$A$ force of $10 \,N$ is required to break a wire of radius $1 \,mm$. The force required to break the wire of the same material, but radius $3 \,mm$ will be

Pressure and stress have the same unit (and dimension),although they are not the same physical quantity. Why?

Two wires as shown in the figure below,made of steel,have a breaking stress of $12 \times 10^8 \text{ N/m}^2$. The area of cross-section of the upper wire is $0.008 \text{ cm}^2$ and that of the lower wire is $0.004 \text{ cm}^2$. The maximum mass that can be added to the pan without breaking any wire is . . . . . . kg. (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)
