As shown in the figure,in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire,the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the load axis. The length of the wire is $62.8\,cm$ and its diameter is $4\,mm$. The Young's modulus is found to be $x \times 10^4\,N/m^2$. The value of $x$ is

$A$ uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus $Y$ and has a normal,unextended length $L$. The radii at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire have values $R$ and $3R$,respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass $M$ is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length of this wire would be:

Write the equation of bending in a rod. Write the unit of bending and its dimensional formula.

Two rods of same material and volume having circular cross-section are subjected to tension $T$. Within the elastic limit,the same force is applied to both the rods. If the diameter of the first rod is half of the second rod,then the ratio of the extension of the first rod to the second rod will be: (in $: 1$)

Two wires of the same length and same cross-sectional area are suspended as shown in the figure. Their Young's moduli are $Y_1$ and $Y_2$. What is their equivalent Young's modulus?
