The pressure that has to be applied to the ends of a steel wire of length $10\ cm$ to keep its length constant when its temperature is raised by $100^o C$ is: (For steel Young's modulus is $2 \times 10^{11}$ $Nm^{-1}$ and coefficient of thermal expansion is $1.1 \times 10^{-5}$ $K^{-1}$ )
$2.2 \times 10^9 $ $Pa$
$2.2 \times 10^7$ $ Pa$
$2.2 \times 10^6 $ $Pa$
$2.2 \times 10^8$ $ Pa$
In an experiment, brass and steel wires of length $1\,m$ each with areas of cross section $1\,mm^2$ are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support and other end is subjected to elongation. The stress requires to produced a new elongation of $0.2\,mm$ is [Given, the Young’s Modulus for steel and brass are respectively $120\times 10^9\,N/m^2$ and $60\times 10^9\,N/m^2$ ]
A stone is tied to an elastic string of negligible mass and spring constant $k$. The unstretched length of the string is $L$ and has negligible mass. The other end of the string is fixed to a nail at a point $P$. Initially the stone is at the same level as the point $P$. The stone is dropped vertically from point $P$.
$(a)$ Find the distance $'y'$ from the top when the mass comes to rest for an instant, for the first time.
$(b)$ What is the maximum velocity attained by the stone in this drop ?
$(c)$ What shall be the nature of the motion after the stone has reached its lowest point ?
In $CGS$ system, the Young's modulus of a steel wire is $2 \times {10^{12}}$. To double the length of a wire of unit cross-section area, the force required is
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
A rod of length $1.05\; m$ having negligible mass is supported at its ends by two wires of steel (wire $A$) and aluminium (wire $B$) of equal lengths as shown in Figure. The cross-sectional areas of wires $A$ and $B$ are $1.0\; mm ^{2}$ and $2.0\; mm ^{2}$. respectively. At what point along the rod should a mass $m$ be suspended in order to produce $(a)$ equal stresses and $(b)$ equal strains in both steel and alumintum wires.
