$A$ steel wire of length $L$ at $40^{\circ} C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass $m$ is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ to regain its original length $L$. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $\alpha = 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$,Young's modulus of steel is $Y = 10^{11} N/m^2$,and the radius of the wire is $r = 1 \ mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of $m$ in $kg$ is nearly:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $6$

$A$ student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly $2 \,m$ long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be $0.8 \,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.05 \,mm$ at a load of exactly $1.0 \,kg$. The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be $0.4 \,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \,mm$. Take $g=9.8 \,m/s^2$ (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is

The pressure that has to be applied to the ends of a steel wire of length $10 \ cm$ to keep its length constant when its temperature is raised by $100 \ ^\circ C$ is: (For steel,Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and coefficient of thermal expansion $\alpha = 1.1 \times 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$)

The following four wires are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension when the same tension is applied?

Two wires $A$ and $B$ are made of the same material. Their diameters are in the ratio of $1: 2$ and their lengths are in the ratio of $1: 3$. If they are stretched by the same force,then the increase in their lengths will be in the ratio of:

In a tensile test on a metal bar of diameter $0.015 \ m$ and length $0.2 \ m$,the relation between the load and elongation within the proportional limit is found to be $F = 97.2 \times 10^6 (\Delta L)$,where $F$ is the load in $N$ and $\Delta L$ is the elongation in $m$. The Young's modulus of the material in $GPa$ is:
