$A$ uniform steel rod of mass $1.8 \,kg$ and length $0.8 \,m$ is hung from a nail with the help of two steel wires,each of area of cross-section $0.01 \,mm^2$ and unstretched length $0.5 \,m$,as shown in the figure. The centre of mass of the rod lies vertically below the nail. The increase in the distance between the centre of mass of the rod and the nail due to stretching of the wires as the rod hangs is . . . . . . $mm$. (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$)

Two wires made of the same material are clamped rigidly at one end and pulled by the same force on the other end. The length and the radius of the first wire are three times those of the second wire. If $x$ is the increase in the length of the first wire,then the increase in the length of the second wire 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

Two identical wires of substances $P$ and $Q$ are subjected to equal stretching force along the length. If the elongation of $Q$ is more than that of $P$,then
