The length of a metallic wire is $l$. The tension in the wire is $T_1$ for length $l_1$ and the tension in the wire is $T_2$ for length $l_2$. Find the original length $l$.

  • A
    $\sqrt{l_{1} l_{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{l_{1} T_{2}-l_{2} T_{1}}{T_{2}-T_{1}}$
  • C
    $\frac{l_{1} T_{2}+l_{2} T_{1}}{T_{2}+T_{1}}$
  • D
    $\frac{l_{1}+l_{2}}{2}$

$A$ structural steel rod has a radius of $10\,mm$ and length of $1.0\,m.$ $A$ $100\,kN$ force stretches it along its length. Young's modulus of structural steel is $2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2.$ The percentage strain is about ....... $\%$

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 $\text{ mm}$)?

$A$ wire of length $100 \ cm$ and area of cross-section $2 \ mm^2$ is stretched by two forces of each $440 \ N$ applied at the ends of the wire in opposite directions along the length of the wire. If the elongation of the wire is $2 \ mm$,the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is:

The length of a metal wire is $L$, when it is subjected to tension $T$. If the tension is increased to $T+\Delta T$, the length becomes $L+\Delta L$. The natural length of the wire is
