Two wires of equal length and cross-section are suspended as shown. Their Young's moduli are $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ respectively. The equivalent Young's modulus will be

  • A
    $Y_1 + Y_2$
  • B
    $\frac{Y_1 + Y_2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{Y_1 Y_2}{Y_1 + Y_2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{Y_1 Y_2}$

$A$ steel rod has a radius of $10 \,mm$ and a length of $1 \,m$. $A$ $80 \,kN$ force stretches it along its length. If the Young's modulus of the rod is $2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$, then the change in length is

Explain the experimental determination of Young's modulus.

Two steel wires of same length $L$ but radii $r$ and $2r$ are connected together end to end and tied to a wall as shown. The force $F$ stretches the combination by $10 \ mm$. How far does the junction point $A$ move (in $mm$)?

When a uniform wire of radius $r$ is stretched by a $2 \, kg$ weight,the increase in its length is $2.00 \, mm$. If the radius of the wire is $r/2$ and other conditions remain the same,the increase in its length is .......... $mm$. (in $.00$)

What is the effect of change in temperature on the Young's modulus?
