When a uniform wire of radius $r$ is stretched by a $2kg$ weight, the increase in its length is $2.00\, mm$. If the radius of the wire is $r/2$ and other conditions remain the same, the increase in its length is .......... $mm$
$2.00$
$4.00$
$6.00$
$8.00$
A bar is subjected to axial forces as shown. If $E$ is the modulus of elasticity of the bar and $A$ is its crosssection area. Its elongation will be
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.
The following four wires are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension when the same tension is applied?
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?
A steel wire of diameter $0.5 mm$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} N m ^{-2}$ carries a load of mass $M$. The length of the wire with the load is $1.0 m$. A vernier scale with $10$ divisions is attached to the end of this wire. Next to the steel wire is a reference wire to which a main scale, of least count $1.0 mm$, is attached. The $10$ divisions of the vernier scale correspond to $9$ divisions of the main scale. Initially, the zero of vernier scale coincides with the zero of main scale. If the load on the steel wire is increased by $1.2 kg$, the vernier scale division which coincides with a main scale division is. . . . Take $g =10 m s ^{-2}$ and $\pi=3.2$.
