The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of same length and of same area of cross section, one of steel and another of brass are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level, then the weights added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of

A $0.1 \mathrm{~kg}$ mass is suspended from a wire of negligible mass. The length of the wire is $1 \mathrm{~m}$ and its crosssectional area is $4.9 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}^2$. If the mass is pulled a little in the vertically downward direction and released, it performs simple harmonic motion of angular frequency $140 \ \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$. If the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $\mathrm{n} \times 10^9 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$, the value of $\mathrm{n}$ is

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. However wire $1$ has crosssectional area $A$ and wire $2$ has cross-section area $3A$. If the length of wire $1$ increases by $\Delta x$ on applying force $F$, how much force is needed to stretch wire $2$ by the same amount?

Two wires $‘A’$ and $‘B’$ of the same material have radii in the ratio $2 : 1$ and lengths in the ratio $4 : 1$. The ratio of the normal forces required to produce the same change in the lengths of these two wires is

A $5\, m$ long aluminium wire ($Y = 7 \times {10^{10}}N/{m^2})$ of diameter $3\, mm$ supports a $40\, kg$ mass. In order to have the same elongation in a copper wire $(Y = 12 \times {10^{10}}N/{m^2})$ of the same length under the same weight, the diameter should now be, in $mm.$
