Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50 \times 10^{3} \; \text{kg}$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $50 \; \text{cm}$ and $100 \; \text{cm}$ respectively. Assuming uniform load distribution,calculate the compressive strain of each column. [Use $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; \text{Pa}$,$g = 9.8 \; \text{m/s}^2$]

What is the velocity of sound in a perfectly rigid rod? Why?

$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force $f$,its length increases by $l$. Another wire of the same material of length $2L$ and radius $2r$ is pulled by a force $2f$. Then the increase in its length will be
