The elongation of a wire on the surface of the earth is $10^{-4} \; m$. The same wire of same dimensions is elongated by $6 \times 10^{-5} \; m$ on another planet. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet will be $\dots \; m/s^2$. (Take acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth $= 10 \; m/s^2$)

In a human pyramid in a circus,the entire weight of the balanced group is supported by the legs of a performer who is lying on his back. The combined mass of all the persons performing the act,and the tables,plaques,etc.,involved is $280 \; kg$. The mass of the performer lying on his back at the bottom of the pyramid is $60 \; kg$. Each thighbone (femur) of this performer has a length of $50 \; cm$ and an effective radius of $2.0 \; cm$. Determine the amount by which each thighbone gets compressed under the extra load. (Take Young's modulus for bone $Y = 9.4 \times 10^9 \; N/m^2$)

$A$ $3 \ m$ long wire of radius $3 \ mm$ shows an extension of $0.1 \ mm$ when loaded vertically by a mass of $50 \ kg$ in an experiment to determine Young's modulus. The value of Young's modulus of the wire as per this experiment is $P \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$,where the value of $P$ is: (Take $g = 3 \pi \ m/s^2$)

$A$ thick brass wire of length $L$ and density $\rho$ is suspended from a rigid support. Due to its own weight,$\ell$ is the increase in length. The Young's modulus $Y$ of the brass wire in terms of density is $(g = \text{acceleration due to gravity})$

The following four wires of length $L$ and radius $r$ are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension,when the same tension is applied?
