$A$ stretched wire of a material whose Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$ has Poisson's ratio $\sigma = 0.25$. Its lateral strain is $\varepsilon_l = 10^{-3}$. The elastic energy density of the wire is:

$A$ force is applied to a steel wire '$A$',rigidly clamped at one end. As a result,the elongation in the wire is $0.2\,mm$. If the same force is applied to another steel wire '$B$' of double the length and a diameter $2.4$ times that of the wire '$A$',the elongation in the wire '$B$' will be $............\times 10^{-2}\,mm$ (wires having uniform circular cross sections).

$A$ sphere of mass $2 \,kg$ and diameter $4.5 \,cm$ is attached to the lower end of a steel wire of $2 \,m$ length and area of cross-section $0.24 \times 10^{-6} \,m^2$. The wire is suspended from a $205 \,cm$ high ceiling of a room. When the system is made to oscillate as a simple pendulum, the sphere just grazes the floor at its lowest position. Find the velocity of the sphere at the lowest position. (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,Nm^{-2}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,ms^{-1}$)

In Young's experiment,if the length of the wire and the radius are both doubled,then the value of $Y$ will become:

What is Young's modulus? Explain it,and provide its unit and dimensional formula.
