$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped at one end. If its other end is pulled by a force $F$,its length increases by $l$. If the radius of the wire and the applied force both are reduced to half of their original values keeping original length constant,the increase in length will become.

The elongation of a wire on the surface of the earth is $10^{-4} \; m$. The same wire of same dimensions is elongated by $6 \times 10^{-5} \; m$ on another planet. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet will be $\dots \; m/s^2$. (Take acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth $= 10 \; m/s^2$)

If the density of the material increases,the value of Young's modulus

On applying a stress of $20 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$,the length of a perfectly elastic wire is doubled. Its Young's modulus will be:

Two wires of equal length and cross-section are suspended as shown. Their Young's moduli are $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ respectively. The equivalent Young's modulus will be
