Two rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion $\alpha_1, \alpha_2$ and Young's moduli $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If $\alpha_1 : \alpha_2 = 2 : 3$,and the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equal,then the ratio $Y_1 : Y_2$ is equal to:

  • A
    $2:3$
  • B
    $1:1$
  • C
    $3:2$
  • D
    $4:9$

$A$ one metre steel wire of negligible mass and area of cross-section $0.01 \,cm^2$ is kept on a smooth horizontal table with one end fixed. $A$ ball of mass $1 \,kg$ is attached to the other end. The ball and the wire are rotating with an angular velocity of $\omega$. If the elongation of the wire is $2 \,mm$, then $\omega$ is (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$)

Two wires of different materials have same length $L$ and same diameter $d$. The second wire is connected at the end of the first wire and forms one single wire of double the length. This wire is subjected to a stretching force $F$ to produce an elongation $\ell$. The two wires have:

$A$ wire of length $L$ and area of cross-section $A$ is hanging from a fixed support. The length of the wire changes to $L_{1}$ when a mass $M$ is suspended from its free end. The expression for Young's modulus is:

$A$ copper wire of length $2.4 \ m$ and an aluminum wire of length $0.7 \ m$, both having diameter $2 \ mm$, are connected end to end. When stretched by a load, the total elongation is found to be $0.6 \ mm$. The applied load is (Young's modulus of copper $= 1.2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and Young's modulus of aluminum $= 0.7 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$). (in $\pi \ N$)
