The length of an elastic string is $x \, m$ when the tension is $8 \, N$ and $y \, m$ when the tension is $10 \, N$. The length in meters when the tension is $18 \, N$ is:

What should be the diameter of a copper wire $(Y=12 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2)$ of length $5 \text{ m}$ to produce the same elongation produced by a $5 \text{ m}$ long aluminium wire $(Y=7 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2)$ of diameter $3 \text{ mm}$ with the same $40 \text{ kg}$ mass (in $\text{ mm}$)?

At $40\,^oC$,a brass wire of radius $0.5\, mm$ (diameter $1\, mm$) is hung from the ceiling. $A$ small mass $M$ is hung from the free end of the wire. When the wire is cooled down from $40\,^oC$ to $20\,^oC$,it regains its original length of $0.2\, m$. The value of $M$ is close to ........$kg$. (Coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 10^{-5}/^oC$ and Young's modulus $Y = 10^{11}\, N/m^2$; $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

$A$ beam of metal supported at the two ends is loaded at the centre. The depression at the centre is proportional to

The force constant of a spring $(K)$ is synonymous to:

Two metal wires $A$ and $B$ have lengths $L$ and $3L$ respectively. The radii of the cross-sectional circular areas of wires $A$ and $B$ are $R$ and $2R$, respectively. These wires are joined end-to-end along their axis. When one end of the combined system is fixed and the other end is pulled with a constant force $F$, the elongation in both wires is equal. If $Y_A$ and $Y_B$ are the Young's moduli of wires $A$ and $B$, respectively, then the ratio $Y_B / Y_A$ is:
