$A$ wire of length $0.5 \ m$ and area of cross-section $4 \times 10^{-6} \ m^2$ at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ is suspended vertically by fixing its upper end to the ceiling. The wire is then cooled to $0^{\circ} C$,but is prevented from contracting,by attaching a mass at the lower end. If the mass of the wire is negligible,then the value of the mass attached to the wire is (Young's modulus of material of the wire $= 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$; coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the wire $= 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $kg$)

$A$ wire of length $100 \ cm$ and area of cross-section $2 \ mm^2$ is stretched by two forces of each $440 \ N$ applied at the ends of the wire in opposite directions along the length of the wire. If the elongation of the wire is $2 \ mm$,the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is:

The modulus of elasticity is dimensionally equivalent to

The adjacent graph shows the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\, m$ suspended from the top of a roof at one end and with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6}\, m^2$,calculate the Young's modulus of the material of the wire.

Two rods of same material and volume having circular cross-section are subjected to tension $T$. Within the elastic limit,the same force is applied to both the rods. If the diameter of the first rod is half of the second rod,then the ratio of the extension of the first rod to the second rod will be: (in $: 1$)
