$A$ steel wire of length $3 \ m$ and a copper wire of length $2.2 \ m$ are connected end to end. When the combination is stretched by a force, the net elongation is $1.05 \ mm$. If the area of cross-section of each wire is $6 \ mm^2$, then the load applied is (Young's modulus of steel and copper are respectively $2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and $1.1 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$) (in $N$)

When a wire of length $L$ clamped at one end is pulled by a force $F$ from the other end,its length increases by $l$. If the radius of the wire and the applied force were halved,then the increase in its length is

$A$ steel rod of diameter $1\,cm$ is clamped firmly at each end when its temperature is $25\,^{\circ}C$ so that it cannot contract on cooling. The tension in the rod at $0\,^{\circ}C$ is approximately ......... $N$ $(\alpha = 10^{-5}/\,^{\circ}C, Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$

$A$ metal rod is fixed rigidly at two ends so as to prevent its thermal expansion. If $L$, $\alpha$, and $Y$ denote the length of the rod, the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, and the Young's modulus of its material respectively, then for an increase in temperature of the rod by $\Delta T$, the longitudinal stress developed in the rod is

The length of an iron wire is $L$ and the area of cross-section is $A$. The increase in length is $l$ upon applying a force $F$ on its two ends. Which of the following statements is correct?

$A$ rod of length $L$ at room temperature and uniform area of cross section $A$ is made of a metal having a coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha /^{\circ}C$. It is observed that an external compressive force $F$,applied on each of its ends,prevents any change in the length of the rod when its temperature rises by $\Delta T \, K$. The Young's modulus $Y$ for this metal is:
