length $=100 \;cm$,diameter $=1 \;mm$
length $= 200\; cm$,diameter $= 2 \;mm$
length $= 300\; cm$,diameter $= 3\; mm$
Two identical solid balls, one of ivory and the other of wet-clay are dropped from the same height on the floor. Which one will rise to a greater height after striking the floor and why ?
Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50,000 \;kg$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $30$ and $60\; cm$ respectively. Assuming the load distribution to be uniform, calculate the compressional strain of each column.
In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus, steel wires of five different lengths $(1,2,3,4$ and $5\,m )$ but of same cross section $\left(2\,mm ^{2}\right)$ were taken and curves between extension and load were obtained. The slope (extension/load) of the curves were plotted with the wire length and the following graph is obtained. If the Young's modulus of given steel wires is $x \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}$, then the value of $x$ is
A uniform metallic wire is elongated by $0.04\, m$ when subjected to a linear force $F$. The elongation, if its length and diameter is doubled and subjected to the same force will be ..... $cm .$
A wire is stretched by $0.01$ $m$ by a certain force $F.$ Another wire of same material whose diameter and length are double to the original wire is stretched by the same force. Then its elongation will be
