There are two wires of the same material and same length. If the diameter of the second wire is two times the diameter of the first wire,then the ratio of the extension produced in the wires by applying the same load will be:

  • A
    $1 : 1$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • C
    $1 : 2$
  • D
    $4 : 1$

$A$ metallic ring of radius $r$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is fitted into a wooden circular disc of radius $R$ $(R > r)$. If the Young's modulus of the material of the ring is $Y$,the force with which the metal ring expands is

$A$ steel wire is stretched with a definite load. If the Young's modulus of the wire is $Y$,how can the value of $Y$ be decreased?

$A$ wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular parts. The two parts are held together by a metal ring of cross-sectional area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slightly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel,the ring is heated by a temperature $\Delta T$. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$ and its Young's modulus is $Y$,the force that one part of the wheel exerts on the other is:
