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 ........

A wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped at one end. If its other end is pulled by a force $F$, its length increases by $l$. If the radius of the wire and the applied force both are reduced to half of their original values keeping original length constant, the increase in length will become.

A piece of copper having a rectangular cross-section of $15.2 \;mm \times 19.1 \;mm$ is pulled in tenston with $44,500\; N$ force, productng only elastic deformation. Calculate the resulting strain?

To determine Young's modulus of a wire, the formula is $Y = \frac{F}{A}.\frac{L}{{\Delta L}}$ where $F/A$ is the stress and $L/\Delta L$ is the strain. The conversion factor to change $Y$ from $CGS$ to $MKS$ system is

Explain experimental determination of Young’s modulus.

A steel wire of length $4.7\; m$ and cross-sectional area $3.0 \times 10^{-5}\; m ^{2}$ stretches by the same amount as a copper wire of length $3.5\; m$ and cross-sectional area of $4.0 \times 10^{-5} \;m ^{2}$ under a given load. What is the ratio of the Young's modulus of steel to that of copper?
