A uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus $Y$ and has a normal, unextended length $L.$ The radii, at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire, have values $R$ and $3R,$ respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass $M$ is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length, of this wire, would equal
$L\left( {1 + \frac{2}{9}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
$L\left( {1 + \frac{1}{9}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
$L\left( {1 + \frac{1}{3}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
$L\left( {1 + \frac{2}{3}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
What must be the lengths of steel and copper rods at $0^o C$ for the difference in their lengths to be $10\,cm$ at any common temperature? $(\alpha_{steel}=1.2 \times {10^{-5}} \;^o C^{-1})$ and $(\alpha_{copper} = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \;^o C^{-1})$
Four uniform wires of the same material are stretched by the same force. The dimensions of wire are as given below. The one which has the minimum elongation has
The pressure that has to be applied to the ends of a steel wire of length $10\ cm$ to keep its length constant when its temperature is raised by $100^o C$ is: (For steel Young's modulus is $2 \times 10^{11}$ $Nm^{-1}$ and coefficient of thermal expansion is $1.1 \times 10^{-5}$ $K^{-1}$ )
The proportional limit of steel is $8 \times 10^8 \,N / m ^2$ and its Young's modulus is $2 \times 10^{11} \,N / m ^2$. The maximum elongation, a one metre long steel wire can be given without exceeding the elastic limit is ...... $mm$
A mild steel wire of length $2l$ meter cross-sectional area $A \;m ^2$ is fixed horizontally between two pillars. A small mass $m \;kg$ is suspended from the mid point of the wire. If extension in wire are within elastic limit. Then depression at the mid point of wire will be .............
