A steel plate of face area $1 \,cm ^2$ and thickness $4 \,cm$ is fixed rigidly at the lower surface. A tangential force $F=10 \,kN$ is applied on the upper surface as shown in the figure. The lateral displacement $x$ of upper surface w.r.t. the lower surface is .............. $m$ (Modulus of rigidity for steel is $8 \times 10^{11} \,N / m ^2$ )
A solid sphere of radius $r$ made of a soft material of bulk modulus $K$ is surrounded by a liquid in a cylindrical container. A massless piston of area $a$ floats on the surface of the liquid, covering entire crosssection of cylindrical container. When a mass $m$ is placed on the surface of the piston to compress the liquid, the fractional decrement in the radius of the sphere, $\left( {\frac{{dr}}{r}} \right)$ is
Increase in length of a wire is $1\, mm$ when suspended by a weight. If the same weight is suspended on a wire of double its length and double its radius, the increase in length will be ........ $mm$
A thick rope of density $\rho$ and length $L$ is hung from a rigid support. The Young's modulus of the material of rope is $Y$. The increase in length of the rope due to its own weight is
The load versus elongation graphs for four wires of same length and made of the same material are shown in the figure. The thinnest wire is represented by the line
The pressure of a medium is changed from $1.01 × 10^5$ $Pa$ to $1.165 × 10^5$ $Pa$ and change in volume is $10\% $ keeping temperature constant. The Bulk modulus of the medium is
A bar of cross-sectional area $A$ is subjected two equal and opposite tensile forces at its ends as shown in figure. Consider a plane $BB'$ making an angle $\theta $ with the length The ratio of tensile stress to the shearing stress on the plane $BB'$ is
