    $0.5$

$A$ 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.

$A$ 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 $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$.

$A$ force $F$ is applied on a wire of radius $r$ and length $L$,and the change in the length of the wire is $l$. If the same force $F$ is applied on a wire of the same material with radius $2r$ and length $2L$,then what is the change in the length of the second wire?

The dimensions of four wires of the same material are given below. In which wire will the increase in length be maximum when the same tension is applied?

The length of a metal wire is $L_1$ when the tension is $T_1$ and $L_2$ when the tension is $T_2$. The unstretched length of the wire is:
