    both $P$ and $Q$ are equally elastic
  • B
    $P$ is more elastic than $Q$
  • C

The Young's modulus of a steel wire of length $6\,m$ and cross-sectional area $3\,mm^2$ is $2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$. The wire is suspended from its support on a given planet. $A$ block of mass $4\,kg$ is attached to the free end of the wire. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is $\frac{1}{4}$ of its value on the Earth. The elongation of the wire is (Take $g$ on the Earth $= 10\,m/s^2$):

The figure represents the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\text{ m}$,suspended from the ceiling of a room at one end with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-5}\text{ m}^2$,then the Young's modulus of the wire is . . . . . . $\text{N/m}^2$.

$A$ steel rod has a radius of $10 \,mm$ and a length of $1 \,m$. $A$ $80 \,kN$ force stretches it along its length. If the Young's modulus of the rod is $2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$, then the change in length is

The ratio of the lengths of two wires of the same material is $1:2$ and the ratio of their radii is $1:\sqrt{2}$. If they are stretched by the same force,what is the ratio of the increase in their lengths?
