$A$ tension of $20 ~N$ is applied to a copper wire of cross-sectional area $0.01 ~cm^2$. The Young's modulus of copper is $1.1 \times 10^{11} ~N/m^2$ and the Poisson's ratio is $0.32$. The decrease in the cross-sectional area of the wire is:

  • A
    $1.16 \times 10^{-6} ~cm^2$
  • B
    $1.16 \times 10^{-5} ~m^2$
  • C
    $1.16 \times 10^{-4} ~m^2$
  • D
    $1.16 \times 10^{-3} ~cm^2$

$A$ car $P$ approaching a crossing at a speed of $10\, m/s$ sounds a horn of frequency $700\, Hz$ when $40\, m$ in front of the crossing. The speed of sound in air is $340\, m/s$. Another car $Q$ is at rest on a road which is perpendicular to the road on which car $P$ is reaching the crossing (see figure). The driver of car $Q$ hears the sound of the horn of car $P$ when he is $30\, m$ in front of the crossing. The apparent frequency heard by the driver of car $Q$ is .... $Hz$.
