To break a wire,a breaking stress of $10^6 \, N/m^2$ is required. If the density of the material is $3 \times 10^3 \, kg/m^3$,then the length of the wire which will break by its own weight will be......... $m$ (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

One end of a steel wire is fixed to the ceiling of an elevator moving up with an acceleration $2 \ m/s^2$ and a load of $10 \ kg$ hangs from the other end. If the cross-section of the wire is $2 \ cm^2$,then the longitudinal strain in the wire will be ($g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$).

What are the factors on which the modulus of elasticity depends?

If the breaking force for a given wire is $F$, and the thickness of the wire is doubled, then the breaking force will be:

$A$ steel wire of diameter $2 \,mm$ has a breaking strength of $4 \times 10^5 \,N$. What is the breaking force in $\times 10^5 \,N$ for a similar steel wire of diameter $1.5 \,mm$?

$A$ spring is stretched by applying a load to its free end. The strain produced in the spring is
