When a uniform wire of radius $r$ is stretched by a $2 \, kg$ weight,the increase in its length is $2.00 \, mm$. If the radius of the wire is $r/2$ and other conditions remain the same,the increase in its length is .......... $mm$. (in $.00$)

$A$ metallic rod $1 \, cm$ long with a square cross-section is heated through $1^{\circ} C$. If Young's modulus of elasticity of the metal is $E$ and the mean coefficient of linear expansion is $\alpha$ per degree Celsius,then the compressional force required to prevent the rod from expanding along its length is: (Neglect the change of cross-sectional area)

$A$ wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular parts (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross-sectional area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slightly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel,it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just slips over the wheel. As it cools down to the surrounding temperature,it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$,and its Young's modulus is $Y$,the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is:

Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the total elongation is $2 \,cm$,then how much is the elongation in steel and copper wire respectively? Given,$Y_{\text{steel}} = 20 \times 10^{11} \,dyne/cm^2$,$Y_{\text{copper}} = 12 \times 10^{11} \,dyne/cm^2$.
