A uniform rod of mass $m$, length $L$, area of cross-section $A$ and Young's modulus $Y$ hangs from the ceiling. Its elongation under its own weight will be
Young’s moduli of two wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $7 : 4$. Wire $A$ is $2\, m$ long and has radius $R$. Wire $A$ is $2\, m$ long and has radius $R$. Wire $B$ is $1.5\, m$ long and has radius $2\, mm$. If the two wires stretch by the same length for a given load, then the value of $R$ is close to ......... $mm$
A body of mass $\mathrm{m}=10\; \mathrm{kg}$ is attached to one end of a wire of length $0.3\; \mathrm{m} .$ The maximum angular speed (in $rad \;s^{-1}$ ) with which it can be rotated about its other end in space station is (Breaking stress of wire $=4.8 \times 10^{7} \;\mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$ and area of cross-section of the wire $=10^{-2}\; \mathrm{cm}^{2}$ ) is
A steel rod is projecting out of rigid wall. The shearing strength of steel is $345 \,\,MN/m^2.$ The dimensions $AB = 5\,\, cm,\,BC = BE = 2\,\, cm.$ The maximum load that can be put on the face $ABCD$ is .......... $kg$ (neglect bending of the rod) $(g = 10\,\, m/s^2)$
Copper of fixed volume $V$ is drawn into wire of length $l$. When this wire is subjected to a constant force $F$, the extension produced in the wire is $\Delta l$. Which of the following graphs is a straight line?
Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the difference in their elongations is $0.5$ cm, the elongation $(l)$ of each wire is ${Y_s}({\rm{steel}}) = 2.0 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$${Y_c}({\rm{copper}}) = 1.2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$
