$P =\frac{ F }{ L ^2}$
$\frac{\delta P }{ P }=\frac{\delta F }{ F }+2 \frac{\delta L }{ L }$
$\frac{\delta P }{ P }=4 \%+2 \times 2 \%=8 \%$

A wire can be broken by applying a load of $200\, N$. The force required to break another wire of the same length and same material, but double in diameter, is .......... $N$
A copper wire of length $1.0\, m$ and a steel wire of length $0.5\, m$ having equal cross-sectional areas are joined end to end. The composite wire is stretched by a certain load which stretches the copper wire by $1\, mm$. If the Young's modulii of copper and steel are respectively $1.0\times10^{11}\, Nm^{-2}$ and $2.0\times10^{11}\, Nm^{- 2}$, the total extension of the composite wire is ........ $mm$
A spherical ball contracts in volume by $0.02 \%$, when subjected to a normal uniform pressure of $50$ atmosphere. The Bulk modulus of its material is ............. $Nm ^{-2}$
A wire of cross-sectional area $3\,m{m^2}$ is first stretched between two fixed points at a temperature of $20°C$. Determine the tension when the temperature falls to $10°C$. Coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = {10^{ - 5}} { ^\circ}{C^{ - 1}}$ and $Y = 2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$ ........ $N$
A wire is loaded by $6\, kg$ at its one end, the increase in length is $12\, mm.$ If the radius of the wire is doubled and all other magnitudes are unchanged, then increase in length will be ......... $mm$
A uniform rod of length $L$ has a mass per unit length $\lambda$ and area of cross-section $A$. If the Young's modulus of the rod is $Y$. Then elongation in the rod due to its own weight is ...........
The bulk modulus of a gas is defined as $B=-V d p / d V$. For an adiabatic process the variation of $B$ is proportional to $p^n$. For an ideal gas $n$ is
