The ratio of diameters of two wires of the same material is $n : 1$. The length of each wire is $4 \ m$. On applying the same load,the increase in length of the thin wire will be:

  • A
    $n^2$ times
  • B
    $n$ times
  • C
    $2n$ times
  • D
    None of the above

$A$ 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:

Two wires $A$ and $B$ are made of the same material. Their diameters are in the ratio of $1: 2$ and their lengths are in the ratio of $1: 3$. If they are stretched by the same force,then the increase in their lengths will be in the ratio of:

The ratio of Young's modulus of three wires is $2 : 2 : 1$ and the ratio of their cross-sectional areas is $1 : 2 : 3$. If the same force is applied to each,what is the ratio of the increase in their lengths?

$A$ steel and a brass wire, each of length $50 \,cm$ and cross-sectional area $0.005 \,cm^{2}$, hang from a ceiling and are $15 \,cm$ apart. Lower ends of the wires are attached to a light horizontal bar. $A$ suitable downward load is applied to the bar so that each of the wires extends in length by $0.1 \,cm$. At what distance from the steel wire must the load be applied (in $\,cm$)? [Young's modulus of steel is $2 \times 10^{12} \,dynes/cm^{2}$ and that of brass is $1 \times 10^{12} \,dynes/cm^{2}$]

Two wires of equal lengths are made of the same material. Wire $A$ has a diameter that is twice as that of wire $B$. If identical weights are suspended from the ends of these wires,the increase in length is
