Two persons pull a wire towards themselves. Each person exerts a force of $200 \, N$ on the wire. Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $1 \times 10^{11} \, N \, m^{-2}$. The original length of the wire is $2 \, m$ and the area of cross-section is $2 \, cm^2$. The wire will extend in length by $...... \, \mu m$.

$A$ wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular parts (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross-sectional area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slightly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel,it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just slips over the wheel. As it cools down to the surrounding temperature,it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$,and its Young's modulus is $Y$,the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is:

$A$ steel rod of diameter $1\,cm$ is clamped firmly at each end when its temperature is $25\,^{\circ}C$ so that it cannot contract on cooling. The tension in the rod at $0\,^{\circ}C$ is approximately ......... $N$ $(\alpha = 10^{-5}/\,^{\circ}C, Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$

If the ratio of length,radii,and Young's modulus of steel and aluminium wire are $a, b, c$ respectively,then the corresponding ratio of increase in their length would be:

$A$ steel rod with a circular cross-section of diameter $1 \ cm$ and another steel rod with a square cross-section of side $1 \ cm$ have equal mass. If the two rods are subjected to the same tension, the ratio of the elongations of the two rods is

$A$ $5\, m$ long aluminium wire $(Y = 7 \times 10^{10}\, N/m^2)$ of diameter $3\, mm$ supports a $40\, kg$ mass. In order to have the same elongation in a copper wire $(Y = 12 \times 10^{10}\, N/m^2)$ of the same length under the same weight,the diameter should now be,in $mm$.
