When a load $W$ is hung from a wire of length $2L$,it just breaks. Now this wire is completely melted and a new wire of length $L$ is formed. If the load $W$ is hung from this new wire,what happens?

$A$ steel rod has a radius of $50 \ mm$ and a length of $2 \ m$. It is stretched along its length with a force of $400 \ kN$. This causes an elongation of $0.5 \ mm$. Find the (approximate) Young's modulus of steel from this information.

$A$ rod $BC$ of negligible mass is fixed at end $B$ and connected to a spring at its natural length having spring constant $K = 10^4 \ N/m$ at end $C$,as shown in the figure. For the rod $BC$,length $L = 4 \ m$,area of cross-section $A = 4 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$,Young's modulus $Y = 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} \ K^{-1}$. If the rod $BC$ is cooled from temperature $100^oC$ to $0^oC$,then find the decrease in length of the rod in centimeters (closest to the integer).

If the interatomic spacing in a steel wire is $3.0 \mathring{A}$ and $Y_{\text{steel}} = 20 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2$, then the force constant is:

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$,how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?

$A$ thin rod having a length of $1\;m$ and area of cross-section $3 \times 10^{-6}\;m^2$ is suspended vertically from one end. The rod is cooled from $210^{\circ}C$ to $160^{\circ}C$. After cooling,a mass $M$ is attached at the lower end of the rod such that the length of the rod again becomes $1\;m$. Young's modulus and coefficient of linear expansion of the rod are $2 \times 10^{11}\;Nm^{-2}$ and $2 \times 10^{-5}\;K^{-1}$,respectively. The value of $M$ is $.......kg$. (Take $g=10\;ms^{-2}$)
