The elongation of a wire on the surface of the earth is $10^{-4} \; m$. The same wire of same dimensions is elongated by $6 \times 10^{-5} \; m$ on another planet. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet will be $\dots \; ms ^{-2}$. (Take acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth $=10 \; m / s ^{-2}$ )

Read the following two statements below carefully and state, with reasons, if it is true or false.

$(a)$ The Young’s modulus of rubber is greater than that of steel;

$(b)$ The stretching of a coil is determined by its shear modulus.

Two rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion ${\alpha _1},\,{\alpha _2}$ and Young's moduli ${Y_1}$ and ${Y_2}$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If ${\alpha _1}:{\alpha _2} = 2:3$, the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equally provided ${Y_1}:{Y_2}$ is equal to
