When a uniform wire of radius $r$ is stretched by a $2kg$ 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 .......... $mm$

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, $Y_{\text {steel }}=20 \times 10^{11} \,dyne / cm ^2$, $Y_{\text {copper }}=12 \times 10^{11} \,dyne / cm ^2$

The Young's modulus of a steel wire of length $6\,m$ and cross-sectional area $3\,mm ^2$, is $2 \times 11^{11}\,N / m ^2$. The wire is suspended from its support on a given planet. A block of mass $4\,kg$ is attached to the free end of the wire. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is $\frac{1}{4}$ of its value on the earth. The elongation of wire is  (Take $g$ on the earth $=10$ $\left.m / s ^2\right):$
