Overall changes in volume and radii of a uniform cylindrical steel wire are $0.2 \%$ and $0.002 \%$ respectively when subjected to some suitable force. Calculate the longitudinal tensile stress acting on the wire. (Given: Young's modulus $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$)

$A$ steel rod has a radius of $50 \ mm$ and a length of $2 \ m$. It is stretched along its length with a force of $400 \ kN$. This causes an elongation of $0.5 \ mm$. Find the (approximate) Young's modulus of steel from this information.

Longitudinal stress of $1\,kg/mm^2$ is applied on a wire. The percentage increase in length is $(Y = 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$. (in $\%$)

Two wires of the same material have lengths in the ratio $1:2$ and diameters in the ratio $2:1$. If they are stretched by forces $F_A$ and $F_B$ respectively to produce the same extension,then the ratio $\frac{F_A}{F_B}$ is:

When a weight of $10 \,kg$ is suspended from a copper wire of length $3 \,m$ and diameter $0.4 \,mm$, its length increases by $2.4 \,cm$. If the diameter of the wire is doubled, then the extension in its length will be (in $\,cm$)
