The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and of the 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

$A$ rigid massless rod of length $6L$ is suspended horizontally by means of two elastic rods $PQ$ and $RS$ as shown in the figure. Their area of cross-section,Young's modulus,and lengths are mentioned in the figure. Find the deflection of end $S$ in the equilibrium state. The free end of the rigid rod is pushed down by a constant force $F$. $A$ is the area of cross-section,$Y$ is Young's modulus of elasticity.

$A$ mild steel wire of length $1.0 \; m$ and cross-sectional area $0.50 \times 10^{-2} \; cm^{2}$ is stretched,well within its elastic limit,horizontally between two pillars. $A$ mass of $100 \; g$ is suspended from the mid-point of the wire. Calculate the depression at the midpoint.

$A$ horizontal steel railroad track has a length of $100 \, m$ when the temperature is $25^{\circ} C$. The track is constrained from expanding or bending. The stress on the track on a hot summer day,when the temperature is $40^{\circ} C$,is ............. $\times 10^7 \, Pa$. (Note: The linear coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is $1.1 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$ and the Young's modulus of steel is $2 \times 10^{11} \, Pa$.)

$A$ metal rod of Young's modulus $Y$ and coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ has its temperature raised by $\Delta \theta$. The linear stress required to prevent the expansion of the rod is:

$A$ wire of length $L$ and area of cross-section $A$ is hanging from a fixed support. The length of the wire changes to $L_{1}$ when a mass $M$ is suspended from its free end. The expression for Young's modulus is:
