On applying a stress of $20 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$,the length of a perfectly elastic wire is doubled. Its Young's modulus will be:

  • A
    $40 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
  • B
    $20 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
  • C
    $10 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$

The decrease in length of a metal bar of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ when compressed with a load $F$ along its length is (where $Y$ is Young's modulus of the material of the metal bar).

What is the percentage increase in length of a wire of diameter $2.5 \,mm$,stretched by a force of $100 \,kg$ wt? (Young's modulus of elasticity of wire $= 12.5 \times 10^{11} \,dyne/cm^2$)

The force required to stretch a steel wire of area of cross-section $1 \,mm^2$ to double its length is (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,N \,m^{-2}$)

$A$ metallic ring of radius $r$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is fitted into a wooden circular disc of radius $R$ $(R > r)$. If the Young's modulus of the material of the ring is $Y$,the force with which the metal ring expands is

$A$ wire of length $0.5 \ m$ and area of cross-section $4 \times 10^{-6} \ m^2$ at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ is suspended vertically by fixing its upper end to the ceiling. The wire is then cooled to $0^{\circ} C$,but is prevented from contracting,by attaching a mass at the lower end. If the mass of the wire is negligible,then the value of the mass attached to the wire is (Young's modulus of material of the wire $= 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$; coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the wire $= 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $kg$)
