$A$ thin rod having a length of $1\;m$ and area of cross-section $3 \times 10^{-6}\;m^2$ is suspended vertically from one end. The rod is cooled from $210^{\circ}C$ to $160^{\circ}C$. After cooling,a mass $M$ is attached at the lower end of the rod such that the length of the rod again becomes $1\;m$. Young's modulus and coefficient of linear expansion of the rod are $2 \times 10^{11}\;Nm^{-2}$ and $2 \times 10^{-5}\;K^{-1}$,respectively. The value of $M$ is $.......kg$. (Take $g=10\;ms^{-2}$)

An object of mass $15 \,kg$ is attached to the end of a metal wire of unstretched length $1.0 \,m$. The object is then whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity of $4 \,rad/s$ at the bottom of the circle. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $0.05 \,cm^2$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$, then calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path. (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,mm$)

The lengths of four wires $A, B, C$ and $D$ made of the same material are $1 \,m, 2 \,m, 3 \,m$ and $4 \,m$ respectively. The radii of the wires $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $0.2 \,mm, 0.4 \,mm, 0.6 \,mm$ and $0.8 \,mm$ respectively. For the same applied tension, the elongation is more in which wire?

$(a)$ $A$ steel wire of mass $\mu$ per unit length with a circular cross-section has a radius of $0.1\,cm$. The wire is of length $10\,m$ when measured lying horizontal and hangs from a hook on the wall. $A$ mass of $25\,kg$ is hung from the free end of the wire. Assuming the wire to be uniform and lateral strains $\ll$ longitudinal strains,find the extension in the length of the wire. The density of steel is $7860\,kg/m^3$ and Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$.
$(b)$ If the yield strength of steel is $2.5 \times 10^8\,N/m^2$,what is the maximum weight that can be hung at the lower end of the wire?
