Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50 \times 10^{3} {kg}$, The inner and outer radii of each column are $50\; {cm}$ and $100 \;{cm}$ respectively. Assuming uniform local distribution, calculate the compression strain of each column. [Use $\left.{Y}=2.0 \times 10^{11} \;{Pa}, {g}=9.8\; {m} / {s}^{2}\right]$
$3.60 \times 10^{-8}$
$2.60 \times 10^{-7}$
$1.87 \times 10^{-3}$

An equilateral triangle $ABC$ is formed by two copper rods $AB$ and $BC$ and one is aluminium rod which heated in such a way that temperature of each rod increases by $\Delta T$. Find change in the angle $\angle {ABC}$. (Coefficient of linear expansion for copper is $\alpha _1$ and for aluminium is $\alpha _2$).
A steel wire of length $3.2 m \left( Y _{ S }=2.0 \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}\right)$ and a copper wire of length $4.4\,M$ $\left( Y _{ C }=1.1 \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}\right)$, both of radius $1.4\,mm$ are connected end to end. When stretched by a load, the net elongation is found to be $1.4\,mm$. The load applied, in Newton, will be. (Given $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
A rigid bar of mass $15\; kg$ is supported symmetrically by three wires each $2.0\; m$ long. Those at each end are of copper and the middle one is of iron. Determine the ratios of their diameters if each is to have the same tension.
When a weight of $10\, kg$ is suspended from a copper wire of length $3$ metres and diameter $0.4\, mm,$ its length increases by $2.4\, cm$. If the diameter of the wire is doubled, then the extension in its length will be ........ $cm$
The force required to stretch a wire of crosssection $1 cm ^{2}$ to double its length will be ........ $ \times 10^{7}\,N$
(Given Yong's modulus of the wire $=2 \times 10^{11}\,N / m ^{2}$ )
