Two wires of the same material have lengths in the ratio $1:2$ and diameters in the ratio $2:1$. If they are stretched by forces $F_A$ and $F_B$ respectively to produce the same extension,then the ratio $\frac{F_A}{F_B}$ is:

  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    $1:1$
  • C
    $2:1$
  • D
    $8:1$

Two wires of diameter $0.25 \; cm,$ one made of steel and the other made of brass,are loaded as shown in the figure. The unloaded length of the steel wire is $1.5 \; m$ and that of the brass wire is $1.0 \; m.$ Compute the elongations of the steel and the brass wires. (Given: Young's modulus of steel $Y_s = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; Pa,$ Young's modulus of brass $Y_b = 0.91 \times 10^{11} \; Pa$)

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same cross-section are connected end to end. When the same tension is applied to both wires,the elongation in wire $B$ is twice the elongation in wire $A$. If $L_A$ and $L_B$ are the initial lengths of the wires $A$ and $B$ respectively,then (Young's modulus of material of wire $A = 2 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$ and Young's modulus of material of wire $B = 1.1 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$):

The pressure that has to be applied to the ends of a steel wire of length $10 \ cm$ to keep its length constant when its temperature is raised by $100 \ ^\circ C$ is: (For steel,Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and coefficient of thermal expansion $\alpha = 1.1 \times 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$)

If the ratio of length,radii,and Young's modulus of steel and aluminium wire are $a, b, c$ respectively,then the corresponding ratio of increase in their length would be:

$A$ steel rod has a radius of $10 \,mm$ and a length of $1.0 \,m$. $A$ force stretches it along its length and produces a strain of $0.32 \%$. The Young's modulus of the steel is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$. What is the magnitude of the force stretching the rod in $kN$?
