Two wires $A$ and $B$ are of the same material. Their lengths are in the ratio $1: 2$ and diameters are in the ratio $2: 1$. When stretched by forces $F_{A}$ and $F_{B}$ respectively,they get equal increase in their lengths. Then the ratio $F_{A} / F_{B}$ is

  • A
    $1: 2$
  • B
    $1: 1$
  • C
    $2: 1$
  • D
    $8: 1$

What is the percentage increase in length of a wire of diameter $2.5 \,mm$,stretched by a force of $100 \,kg$ wt? (Young's modulus of elasticity of wire $= 12.5 \times 10^{11} \,dyne/cm^2$)

$A$ piece of copper having a rectangular cross-section of $15.2 \; mm \times 19.1 \; mm$ is pulled in tension with $44,500 \; N$ force,producing only elastic deformation. Calculate the resulting strain.

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 $l$.

$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force $F$,the increase in length is $l$. If another wire of the same material but double the length and double the radius is stretched with a force $2F$,then the increase in length is:

In Young's experiment,if the length of the wire and the radius are both doubled,then the value of $Y$ will become:
