A wire of cross sectional area $A$, modulus of elasticity $2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$ and length $2 \mathrm{~m}$ is stretched between two vertical rigid supports. When a mass of $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ is suspended at the middle it sags lower from its original position making angle $\theta=\frac{1}{100}$ radian on the points of support. The value of $A$ is. . . . . .  $\times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2$ (consider $\mathrm{x}<\mathrm{L}$ ).

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. However wire $1$ has crosssectional area $A$ and wire $2$ has cross-section area $3A$. If the length of wire $1$ increases by $\Delta x$ on applying force $F$, how much force is needed to stretch wire $2$ by the same amount?

The Young's modulus of a wire is $y$. If the energy per unit volume is $E$, then the strain will be

The length of wire becomes $l_1$ and $l_2$ when $100\,N$ and $120\,N$ tensions are applied respectively. If $10l_2=11l_1$, the natural length of wire will be $\frac{1}{x} l_1$. Here the value of $x$ is ........
