One end of a uniform wire of length $L$ and of weight $W$ is attached rigidly to a point in the roof and a weight $W_1$ is suspended from its lower end. If $A$ is the area of cross-section of the wire,the stress in the wire at a height $3L/4$ from its lower end is

  • A
    $\frac{W + W_1}{A}$
  • B
    $\frac{4W + W_1}{3A}$
  • C
    $\frac{3W + W_1}{4A}$
  • D
    $\frac{\frac{3}{4}W + W_1}{A}$

$A$ steel rod has a radius of $10 \,mm$ and a length of $1.0 \,m$. $A$ force stretches it along its length and produces a strain of $0.32 \%$. The Young's modulus of the steel is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$. What is the magnitude of the force stretching the rod in $kN$?

$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force $F$,the increase in length is $l$. If another wire of the same material but double the length and double the radius is stretched with a force $2F$,then the increase in length is:

When a weight of $10 \,kg$ is suspended from a copper wire of length $3 \,m$ and diameter $0.4 \,mm$, its length increases by $2.4 \,cm$. If the diameter of the wire is doubled, then the extension in its length will be (in $\,cm$)
