Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50,000 \; kg$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $30 \; cm$ and $60 \; cm$ respectively. Assuming the load distribution to be uniform,calculate the compressional strain of each column. (Take Young's modulus of mild steel $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; Pa$ and $g = 9.8 \; m/s^2$)

  • A
    $8.96 \times 10^{-5}$
  • B
    $2.56 \times 10^{-6}$
  • C
    $5.52 \times 10^{-8}$
  • D
    $7.22 \times 10^{-7}$

Young's modulus of rubber is $10^4 \ N/m^2$ and the area of cross-section is $2 \ cm^2$. If a force of $2 \times 10^5 \ dynes$ is applied along its length,then its initial length $L$ becomes:

$A$ wire of length $2 \, m$ is made from copper having a volume of $10 \, cm^3$. When a force $F$ is applied,the extension in its length is $2 \, mm$. If a wire of length $8 \, m$ is made from the same volume of copper,what will be the extension in its length in $cm$ when the same force $F$ is applied?

$A$ $0.1 \,kg$ mass is suspended from a wire of negligible mass. The length of the wire is $1 \,m$ and its cross-sectional area is $4.9 \times 10^{-7} \,m^2$. If the mass is pulled a little in the vertically downward direction and released, it performs simple harmonic motion of angular frequency $140 \,rad \,s^{-1}$. If the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $n \times 10^9 \,N \,m^{-2}$, the value of $n$ is

$A$ load $W$ produces an extension of $1 \ mm$ in a thread of radius $r$. If the load is increased to $4W$ and the radius is increased to $2r$,while all other factors remain the same,what will be the new extension in $mm$?
