$A$ one metre steel wire of negligible mass and area of cross-section $0.01 \,cm^2$ is kept on a smooth horizontal table with one end fixed. $A$ ball of mass $1 \,kg$ is attached to the other end. The ball and the wire are rotating with an angular velocity of $\omega$. If the elongation of the wire is $2 \,mm$, then $\omega$ is (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$)

$A$ steel wire is stretched with a definite load. If the Young's modulus of the wire is $Y$,how can the value of $Y$ be decreased?

$A$ force $F$ is applied on a wire of radius $r$ and length $L$,and the change in the length of the wire is $l$. If the same force $F$ is applied on a wire of the same material with radius $2r$ and length $2L$,then what is the change in the length of the second wire?

$A$ wire of cross-sectional area $10^{-6} \, m^2$ is stretched such that its length increases by $0.1\%$. If the tension produced in the wire is $1000 \, N$, calculate the Young's modulus of the wire.
