In the $CGS$ system,the Young's modulus of a steel wire is $2 \times 10^{12} \text{ dyn/cm}^2$. To double the length of a wire of unit cross-sectional area,the force required is:

  • A
    $4 \times 10^6 \text{ dynes}$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{12} \text{ dynes}$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{12} \text{ newtons}$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^8 \text{ dynes}$

Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5} \ m$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$. The longitudinal strain developed in the wire is $\frac{1}{\alpha \pi}$. The value of $\alpha$ is [Use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$].

If the ratio of length,radii,and Young's modulus of steel and aluminium wire are $a, b, c$ respectively,then the corresponding ratio of increase in their length would be:

The diameter of a brass rod is $4 \ mm$ and Young's modulus of brass is $9 \times 10^{10} \ N/m^2$. The force required to stretch it by $0.1\%$ of its original length is:

$A$ metal rod is fixed rigidly at two ends so as to prevent its thermal expansion. If $L$, $\alpha$, and $Y$ denote the length of the rod, the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, and the Young's modulus of its material respectively, then for an increase in temperature of the rod by $\Delta T$, the longitudinal stress developed in the rod is

In a tensile test on a metal bar of diameter $0.015 \ m$ and length $0.2 \ m$, the relation between the load and elongation within the proportional limit is found to be $F = 97.2 \times 10^6 (\Delta L)$, where $F$ is the load in $N$ and $\Delta L$ is the elongation in $m$. The Young's modulus of the material in $GPa$ is:
