Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the difference in their elongations is $0.5$ cm, the elongation $(l)$ of each wire is ${Y_s}({\rm{steel}}) = 2.0 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$${Y_c}({\rm{copper}}) = 1.2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$

Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the total elongation is $2 \,cm$, then how much is the elongation in steel and copper wire respectively? Given, $Y_{\text {steel }}=20 \times 10^{11} \,dyne / cm ^2$, $Y_{\text {copper }}=12 \times 10^{11} \,dyne / cm ^2$

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 $30$ and $60\; cm$ respectively. Assuming the load distribution to be uniform, calculate the compressional strain of each column.

A copper wire of length $2.2 \;m$ and a steel wire of length $1.6\; m ,$ both of diameter $3.0 \;mm ,$ are connected end to end. When stretched by a load, the net elongation is found to be $0.70 \;mm$. Obtain the load applied in $N$.

According to Hook’s law of elasticity, if stress is increased, the ratio of stress to strain

If the ratio of lengths, radii and Young's moduli of steel and brass wires in the figure are $a, b$ and $c$ respectively, then the corresponding ratio of increase in their lengths is
