$A$ copper wire and an aluminium wire have lengths in the ratio $5: 2$, diameters in the ratio $4: 3$ and forces applied in the ratio $4: 5$. Find the ratio of increase in length of the copper wire to that of the aluminium wire. (Given: $Y_{Cu} = 1.1 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$, $Y_{Al} = 0.7 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$)

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

The ratio of the areas of cross-sections of three wires is $1:2:3$ and the ratio of the Young's moduli of their materials is $3:2:1$. If the three wires are of the same length and the same stretching force is applied to the three wires, then the ratio of the elongations of the three wires is

Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the difference in their elongations is $0.5 \ cm$,find the elongation $(l)$ of each wire. Given: ${Y_s} = 2.0 \times {10^{11}} \ N/m^2$ and ${Y_c} = 1.2 \times {10^{11}} \ N/m^2$.

The adjacent graph shows the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\, m$ suspended from the top of a roof at one end and with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6}\, m^2$,calculate the Young's modulus of the material of the wire.
