The ratio of the lengths of two wires of the same material is $1:2$ and the ratio of their radii is $1:\sqrt{2}$. If they are stretched by the same force,what is the ratio of the increase in their lengths?

$A$ steel wire and a copper wire are joined end to end having equal cross-sections. The elongation of the two wires is found to be equal under tension. What is the ratio of the length of the steel wire to the length of the copper wire? (Young's modulus of steel $= 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$ and Young's modulus of copper $= 1.1 \times 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$)

$A$ 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?

The Young's modulus of a steel wire of length $6\,m$ and cross-sectional area $3\,mm^2$ is $2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$. The wire is suspended from its support on a given planet. $A$ block of mass $4\,kg$ is attached to the free end of the wire. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is $\frac{1}{4}$ of its value on the Earth. The elongation of the wire is (Take $g$ on the Earth $= 10\,m/s^2$):

An object of mass $15 \,kg$ is attached to the end of a metal wire of unstretched length $1.0 \,m$. The object is then whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity of $4 \,rad/s$ at the bottom of the circle. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $0.05 \,cm^2$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$, then calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path. (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,mm$)
