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 $5\,cm$. Another wire of the same material of length $4 L$ and radius $4\,r$ is pulled by a force $4\,F$ under same conditions. The increase in length of this wire is $....cm$.

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 ?

Two persons pull a wire towards themselves. Each person exerts a force of $200 \mathrm{~N}$ on the wire. Young's modulus of the material of wire is $1 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}$. Original length of the wire is $2 \mathrm{~m}$ and the area of cross section is $2 \mathrm{~cm}^2$. The wire will extend in length by . . . . . . . .$\mu \mathrm{m}$.
