Young's moduli of two wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $7 : 4$. Wire $A$ is $2\, m$ long and has radius $R$. Wire $B$ is $1.5\, m$ long and has radius $2\, mm$. If the two wires stretch by the same length for a given load,then the value of $R$ is close to ......... $mm$.

What should be the diameter of a copper wire $(Y=12 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2)$ of length $5 \text{ m}$ to produce the same elongation produced by a $5 \text{ m}$ long aluminium wire $(Y=7 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2)$ of diameter $3 \text{ mm}$ with the same $40 \text{ kg}$ mass (in $\text{ mm}$)?

Two different wires made with the same material have their radii in the ratio $1:2$. Their lengths are also in the ratio $1:2$. If the extensions produced are equal when subjected to different loads,find the ratio of the loads applied.

$A$ copper wire $(Y = 1 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2)$ of length $6 \, m$ and a steel wire $(Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2)$ of length $4 \, m$,each of cross-sectional area $10^{-5} \, m^2$,are fastened end to end and stretched by a tension of $100 \, N$. The elongation produced in the copper wire is ......... $mm$.
