A rubber cord $10\, m$ long is suspended vertically. How much does it stretch under its own weight $($Density of rubber is $1500\, kg/m^3, Y = 5×10^8 N/m^2, g = 10 m/s^2$$)$
$15×10^{-4} m$
$7.5×10^{-4} m$
$12×10^{-4} m$
$25×10^{-4} m$
A wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force $f$ its length increases by $l$. Another wire of the same material of length $2L$ and radius $2r$ is pulled by a force $2f$. Then find the increase in length of this wire.
If Young's modulus for a material is zero, then the state of material should be
An elastic material of Young's modulus $Y$ is subjected to a stress $S$. The elastic energy stored per unit volume of the material is
A rod of length $1.05\; m$ having negligible mass is supported at its ends by two wires of steel (wire $A$) and aluminium (wire $B$) of equal lengths as shown in Figure. The cross-sectional areas of wires $A$ and $B$ are $1.0\; mm ^{2}$ and $2.0\; mm ^{2}$. respectively. At what point along the rod should a mass $m$ be suspended in order to produce $(a)$ equal stresses and $(b)$ equal strains in both steel and alumintum wires.
A brass rod of length $2\,m$ and cross-sectional area $2.0\,cm^2$ is attached end to end to a steel rod of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $1.0\,cm^2$ . The compound rod is subjected to equal and opposite pulls of magnitude $5 \times 10^4\,N$ at its ends. If the elongations of the two rods are equal, then length of the steel rod $(L)$ is ........... $m$ $(Y_{Brass}=1.0\times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$ and $Y_{Steel} = 2.0 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$
