    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $6$

Two wires of the same length and radius are joined end-to-end and loaded. The Young's moduli of the materials of the two wires are $Y_{1}$ and $Y_{2}$. If the combination behaves as a single wire,then its equivalent Young's modulus is:

$A$ uniform heavy rod of mass $20\,kg$,cross-sectional area $0.4\,m^{2}$,and length $20\,m$ is hanging from a fixed support. Neglecting the lateral contraction,the elongation in the rod due to its own weight is $x \times 10^{-9}\,m$. The value of $x$ is (Given: Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^{2}$ and $g = 10\,m/s^{2}$)

The elongation of the copper wire of cross-sectional area $3.5 \,mm^2$, as shown in the figure, is (Given: $Y_{\text{copper}} = 10 \times 10^{10} \,N/m^2$ and $g = 10 \,m/s^2$).

$A$ steel rod of length $1\,m$ and cross-sectional area $10^{-4}\,m^2$ is heated from $0^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$ without being allowed to extend or bend. The compressive force produced in the rod is $........\times 10^4\,N$. (Given: Young's modulus of steel $Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$,coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 10^{-5}\,K^{-1}$)

$A$ load of $1 \,kg$ weight is attached to one end of a steel wire of area of cross-section $3 \,mm^2$ and Young's modulus $10^{11} \,N/m^2$. The other end is suspended vertically from a hook on a wall, then the load is pulled horizontally and released. When the load passes through its lowest position, the fractional change in length is $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$.
