Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same cross-section are connected end to end. When the same tension is applied to both wires,the elongation in wire $B$ is twice the elongation in wire $A$. If $L_A$ and $L_B$ are the initial lengths of the wires $A$ and $B$ respectively,then (Young's modulus of material of wire $A = 2 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$ and Young's modulus of material of wire $B = 1.1 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$):

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same material have radii in the ratio $2:1$ and lengths in the ratio $4:1$. The ratio of the normal forces required to produce the same change in the lengths of these two wires is .......

$A$ rigid massless rod of length $6L$ is suspended horizontally by means of two elastic rods $PQ$ and $RS$ as shown in the figure. Their area of cross-section,Young's modulus,and lengths are mentioned in the figure. Find the deflection of end $S$ in the equilibrium state. The free end of the rigid rod is pushed down by a constant force $F$. $A$ is the area of cross-section,$Y$ is Young's modulus of elasticity.

The force constant of a wire does not depend on

The mass and length of a wire are $M$ and $L$ respectively. The density of the material of the wire is $d$. On applying a force $F$ on the wire,the increase in length is $l$. Then,the Young's modulus of the material of the wire will be:
