The length of a metallic wire is $l$. The tension in the wire is $T_1$ for length $l_1$ and the tension in the wire is $T_2$ for length $l_2$. Find the original length $l$.

  • A
    $\sqrt{l_{1} l_{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{l_{1} T_{2}-l_{2} T_{1}}{T_{2}-T_{1}}$
  • C
    $\frac{l_{1} T_{2}+l_{2} T_{1}}{T_{2}+T_{1}}$
  • D
    $\frac{l_{1}+l_{2}}{2}$

One end of a steel wire of radius $r$ is fixed to a ceiling and a load of $3 \ kg$ is attached to the free end of the wire. Another wire made of copper of radius $2r$ is attached to the bottom of the $3 \ kg$ load and a $2 \ kg$ load is attached to the free end of the copper wire. The ratio of longitudinal strains produced in copper and steel wires is (Young modulus of steel $= 20 \times 10^{10} \ Nm^{-2}$,Young modulus of copper $= 12 \times 10^{10} \ Nm^{-2}$)

$A$ force of $10^3 \ N$ stretches the length of a hanging wire by $1 \ mm$. The force required to stretch a wire of the same material and length,but having four times the diameter,by $1 \ mm$ is:

Four wires of the same material are stretched by the same load. Which one of them will elongate the most if their dimensions are as follows?

The elongation of the copper wire of cross-sectional area $3.5 \,mm^2$, as shown in the figure, is (Given: $Y_{\text{copper}} = 10 \times 10^{10} \,N/m^2$ and $g = 10 \,m/s^2$).

When a force of $4 \, N$ is applied to a wire,its length is $a \, m$. When a force of $5 \, N$ is applied,its length is $b \, m$. What will be its length when a force of $9 \, N$ is applied?
