An aluminum rod (Young's modulus $Y = 7 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2$) has a breaking strain of $0.2\%$. The minimum cross-sectional area of the rod required to support a load of $10^4 \, N$ is:

  • A
    $1 \times 10^{-2} \, m^2$
  • B
    $1.4 \times 10^{-3} \, m^2$
  • C
    $3.5 \times 10^{-3} \, m^2$
  • D
    $7.1 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$

What is the percentage increase in length of a wire of diameter $2.5 \,mm$,stretched by a force of $100 \,kg$ wt? (Young's modulus of elasticity of wire $= 12.5 \times 10^{11} \,dyne/cm^2$)

If the ratio of lengths,radii,and Young's moduli of steel and brass wires in the figure are $a, b,$ and $c$ respectively,then the corresponding ratio of increase in their lengths is

The ratio of the lengths of two wires of the same material is $1:2$ and the ratio of their radii is $1:\sqrt{2}$. If they are stretched by the same force,what is the ratio of the increase in their lengths?

$A$ load of $1 \,kg$ weight is attached to one end of a steel wire of area of cross-section $3 \,mm^2$ and Young's modulus $10^{11} \,N/m^2$. The other end is suspended vertically from a hook on a wall, then the load is pulled horizontally and released. When the load passes through its lowest position, the fractional change in length is $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$.
