Overall changes in volume and radii of a uniform cylindrical steel wire are $0.2 \%$ and $0.002 \%$ respectively when subjected to some suitable force. Calculate the longitudinal tensile stress acting on the wire. (Given: Young's modulus $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$)

  • A
    $3.2 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2$
  • B
    $3.2 \times 10^7 \ N/m^2$
  • C
    $3.6 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2$
  • D
    $4.08 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$

$A$ 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.

The following four wires are made of the same material. Which one will have the largest elongation when subjected to the same tension?
