A wire of cross sectional area $A$, modulus of elasticity $2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$ and length $2 \mathrm{~m}$ is stretched between two vertical rigid supports. When a mass of $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ is suspended at the middle it sags lower from its original position making angle $\theta=\frac{1}{100}$ radian on the points of support. The value of $A$ is. . . . . .  $\times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2$ (consider $\mathrm{x}<\mathrm{L}$ ).

A uniform heavy rod of weight $10\, {kg} {ms}^{-2}$, crosssectional area $100\, {cm}^{2}$ and length $20\, {cm}$ is hanging from a fixed support. Young modulus of the material of the rod is $2 \times 10^{11} \,{Nm}^{-2}$. Neglecting the lateral contraction, find the elongation of rod due to its own weight. (In $\times 10^{-10} {m}$)

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$, how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?
