$A$ copper wire of length $4.0 \, m$ and area of cross-section $1.2 \, cm^2$ is stretched with a force of $4.8 \times 10^3 \, N$. If Young's modulus for copper is $1.2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$,the increase in the length of the wire will be:

The adjacent graph shows the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\, m$ suspended from the top of a roof at one end and with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6}\, m^2$,calculate the Young's modulus of the material of the wire.

$A$ 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 $= 10 \,m/s^2$)

In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire of length exactly $1\;m$,the extension in the length of the wire is measured as $0.4\;mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.02\;mm$ when a load of $1\;kg$ is applied. The diameter of the wire is measured as $0.4\;mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01\;mm$. The error in the measurement of Young's modulus $(\Delta Y)$ is found to be $x \times 10^{10}\;N/m^2$. The value of $x$ is (Take $g = 10\;m/s^2$)

$A$ 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?
