$A$ uniform heavy rod of mass $20\,kg$,cross-sectional area $0.4\,m^{2}$,and length $20\,m$ is hanging from a fixed support. Neglecting the lateral contraction,the elongation in the rod due to its own weight is $x \times 10^{-9}\,m$. The value of $x$ is (Given: Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^{2}$ and $g = 10\,m/s^{2}$)

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 $= 12 \times 10^{10} \ Nm^{-2}$)

The diameter of a brass rod is $4 \ mm$ and Young's modulus of brass is $9 \times 10^{10} \ N/m^2$. The force required to stretch it by $0.1\%$ of its original length is:

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of same length,same radius and same Young's modulus are heated to the same range of temperatures. If the coefficient of linear expansion of $A$ is $\frac{3}{2}$ times that of $B$,then the ratio of the thermal stresses produced in the two wires $A$ and $B$ is

The ratio of the lengths of two wires of the same material is $1:2$ and the ratio of their radii is $1:\sqrt{2}$. If they are stretched by the same force,what is the ratio of the increase in their lengths?
