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

The adjacent graph shows the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\, m$ suspended from the top of a roof at one end and with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6}\, m^2$, calculate the Young’s modulus of the material of the wire.
Two rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion ${\alpha _1},\,{\alpha _2}$ and Young's moduli ${Y_1}$ and ${Y_2}$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If ${\alpha _1}:{\alpha _2} = 2:3$, the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equally provided ${Y_1}:{Y_2}$ is equal to
A composite rod made up of two rods $AB$ and $BC$ are joined at $B$ . The rods are of equal length at room temperature and have equal masses. The coefficient of linear expansion a of $AB$ is more than that of $BC$. The composite rod is suspended horizontal by means of a thread at $B$. When the rod is heated
A cube of metal is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of $4\;GPa.$ The percentage change in the length of the side of the cube is close to.......$\%$
(Given bulk modulus of metal, $B =8 \times 10^{10}\, Pa$ )
The upper end of a wire of radius $4\, mm$ and length $100\, cm$ is clamped and its other end is twisted through an angle of $60^o$. Then angle of shear is .......... $^o$
