The Young's modulus of a wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is $Y \, N/m^2$. What will be the Young's modulus of a wire made of the same material with length $L/2$ and radius $r/2$?

The speed of a transverse wave travelling in a wire of length $50 \text{ cm}$,cross-sectional area $1 \text{ mm}^2$ and mass $5 \text{ g}$ is $80 \text{ ms}^{-1}$. The Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $4 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$. The extension in the length of the wire is

Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50,000 \; kg$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $30 \; cm$ and $60 \; cm$ respectively. Assuming the load distribution to be uniform,calculate the compressional strain of each column. (Take Young's modulus of mild steel $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; Pa$ and $g = 9.8 \; m/s^2$)

$A$ weight of $200 \, kg$ is suspended by a vertical wire of length $600.5 \, cm$. The area of cross-section of the wire is $1 \, mm^2$. When the load is removed,the wire contracts by $0.5 \, cm$. The Young's modulus of the material of the wire will be:

Two wires of equal length and cross-section are suspended as shown. Their Young's moduli are $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ respectively. The equivalent Young's modulus will be
