The length of a wire is $l_1$ when a mass $M_1$ is hung from it,and it is $l_2$ when both masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are hung from it. The natural length of the wire is ........

The maximum elongation of a steel wire of $1 \,m$ length if the elastic limit of steel and its Young's modulus,respectively,are $8 \times 10^8 \,N \,m^{-2}$ and $2 \times 10^{11} \,N \,m^{-2}$,is: (in $\,mm$)

$A$ steel rod of length $1\,m$ and cross-sectional area $10^{-4}\,m^2$ is heated from $0^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$ without being allowed to extend or bend. The compressive force produced in the rod is $........\times 10^4\,N$. (Given: Young's modulus of steel $Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$,coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 10^{-5}\,K^{-1}$)

The Young's modulus for steel is much more than that for rubber. For the same longitudinal strain,which one will have greater tensile stress?

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.

Copper of fixed volume $V$ is drawn into a wire of length $l$. When this wire is subjected to a constant force $F$,the extension produced in the wire is $\Delta l$. Which of the following graphs is a straight line?
