A fixed volume of iron is drawn into a wire of length $L.$ The extension $x$ produced in this wire by a constant force $F$ is proportional to
$\frac{1}{{{L^2}}}$
$\frac{1}{L}$
${L^2}$
$L$
If the ratio of lengths, radii and Young's moduli of steel and brass wires in the figure are $a, b$ and $c$ respectively, then the corresponding ratio of increase in their lengths is
Which of the following curve represents the correctly distribution of elongation $(y)$ along heavy rod under its own weight $L \rightarrow$ length of rod, $x \rightarrow$ distance of point from lower end?
In suspended type moving coil galvanometer, quartz suspension is used because
Wires $A$ and $B$ are connected with blocks $P$ and $Q$ as shown. The ratio of lengths, radii and Young's modulus of wires $A$ and $B$ are $r, 2r$ and $3r$ respectively ($r$ is a constant). Find the mass of block $P$ if ratio of increase in their corresponding lengths is $1/6r^2$. The mass of block $Q$ is $3M$.
A stone is tied to an elastic string of negligible mass and spring constant $k$. The unstretched length of the string is $L$ and has negligible mass. The other end of the string is fixed to a nail at a point $P$. Initially the stone is at the same level as the point $P$. The stone is dropped vertically from point $P$.
$(a)$ Find the distance $'y'$ from the top when the mass comes to rest for an instant, for the first time.
$(b)$ What is the maximum velocity attained by the stone in this drop ?
$(c)$ What shall be the nature of the motion after the stone has reached its lowest point ?
