$A$ force is applied to a steel wire '$A$',rigidly clamped at one end. As a result,the elongation in the wire is $0.2\,mm$. If the same force is applied to another steel wire '$B$' of double the length and a diameter $2.4$ times that of the wire '$A$',the elongation in the wire '$B$' will be $............\times 10^{-2}\,mm$ (wires having uniform circular cross sections).

Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5} \ m$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$. The longitudinal strain developed in the wire is $\frac{1}{\alpha \pi}$. The value of $\alpha$ is [Use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$].

$A$ wire of area of cross-section $10^{-6} \ m^2$ is increased in length by $0.1 \%$. The tension produced is $1000 \ N$. The Young's modulus of the wire is:

If in case $A$,the elongation in a wire of length $L$ is $l$,then for the same wire,the elongation in case $B$ will be:

Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50,000 \; kg$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $30 \; cm$ and $60 \; cm$ respectively. Assuming the load distribution to be uniform,calculate the compressional strain of each column. (Take Young's modulus of mild steel $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; Pa$ and $g = 9.8 \; m/s^2$)
