A rod $BC$ of negligible mass fixed at end $B$ and connected to a spring at its natural length having spring constant $K = 10^4\  N/m$ at end $C$, as shown in figure. For the rod $BC$ length $L = 4\ m$, area of cross-section $A = 4 × 10^{-4}\   m^2$, Young's modulus $Y = 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 2.2 × 10^{-4} K^{-1}.$ If the rod $BC$ is cooled from temperature $100^oC$  to $0^oC,$ then find the decrease in length of rod in centimeter.(closest to the integer)

A thin $1 \,m$ long rod has a radius of $5\, mm$. A force of $50\,\pi kN$ is applied at one end to determine its Young's modulus. Assume that the force is exactly known. If the least count in the measurement of all lengths is $0.01\, mm$, which of the following statements is false ?

Two persons pull a wire towards themselves. Each person exerts a force of $200 \mathrm{~N}$ on the wire. Young's modulus of the material of wire is $1 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}$. Original length of the wire is $2 \mathrm{~m}$ and the area of cross section is $2 \mathrm{~cm}^2$. The wire will extend in length by . . . . . . . .$\mu \mathrm{m}$.

When a certain weight is suspended from a long uniform wire, its length increases by one  $cm$. If the same weight is suspended from another wire of the same material and length  but having a diameter half of the first one, the increase in length will be ……… $cm$

A metal rod of cross-sectional area $10^{-4} \,m ^{2}$ is hanging in a chamber kept at $20^{\circ} C$ with a weight attached to its free end. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \,K ^{-1}$ and its Young's modulus is $4 \times 10^{12} \,N / m ^{2}$. When the temperature of the chamber is lowered to $T$, then a weight of $5000 \,N$ needs to be attached to the rod, so that its length is unchanged. Then, $T$ is ………… $^{\circ} C$
