In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus,steel wires of five different lengths $(1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5\,m)$ but of same cross-section $(2\,mm^2)$ were taken and curves between extension and load were obtained. The slope $(\text{extension/load})$ of the curves were plotted with the wire length and the following graph is obtained. If the Young's modulus of given steel wires is $x \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$,then the value of $x$ is

  • A
    $20$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $23$
  • D
    $21$

$A$ sphere of mass $2 \,kg$ and diameter $4.5 \,cm$ is attached to the lower end of a steel wire of $2 \,m$ length and area of cross-section $0.24 \times 10^{-6} \,m^2$. The wire is suspended from a $205 \,cm$ high ceiling of a room. When the system is made to oscillate as a simple pendulum, the sphere just grazes the floor at its lowest position. Find the velocity of the sphere at the lowest position. (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,Nm^{-2}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,ms^{-1}$)
