Two wires $A$ and $B$ made of the same material and areas of cross-section in the ratio $1: 2$ are stretched by the same force. If the masses of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $2: 3$,then the ratio of the elongations of the wires $A$ and $B$ is

$A$ rod is fixed between two points at $20\,^oC$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the rod is $1.1 \times 10^{-5}/\,^oC$ and Young's modulus is $1.2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$. Find the stress developed in the rod if the temperature of the rod becomes $10\,^oC$.

$A$ $14.5\; kg$ mass,fastened to the end of a steel wire of unstretched length $1.0\; m$,is whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity of $2\; rev/s$ at the bottom of the circle. The cross-sectional area of the wire is $0.065\; cm^2$. Calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path.
