A steel rod of length $1\,m$ and cross sectional area $10^{-4}\,m ^2$ is heated from $0^{\circ}\,C$ to $200^{\circ}\,C$ without being allowed to extend or bend. The compressive tension produced in the rod is $........\times 10^4\,N$ (Given Young's modulus of steel $=2 \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}$, coefficient of linear expansion $=10^{-5}\, K ^{-1}$.
$= Y \times \frac{\ell \alpha \Delta T }{\ell}= Y \alpha \Delta T$
$\text { Compressive Tension }=\text { Stress } \times \text { Area of cross section }$
$= YA \alpha \Delta T =4 \times 10^4\,N$

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
Two steel wires of same length but radii $r$ and $2r$ are connected together end to end and tied to a wall as shown. The force stretches the combination by $10\ mm$. How far does the midpoint $A$ move ............ $mm$
The mass and length of a wire are $M$ and $L$ respectively. The density of the material of the wire is $d$. On applying the force $F$ on the wire, the increase in length is $l$, then the Young's modulus of the material of the wire will be
In steel, the Young's modulus and the strain at the breaking point are $2 \times {10^{11}}\,N{m^{ - 2}}$ and $0.15$ respectively. The stress at the breaking point for steel is therefore
A brass rod of length $2\,m$ and cross-sectional area $2.0\,cm^2$ is attached end to end to a steel rod of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $1.0\,cm^2$ . The compound rod is subjected to equal and opposite pulls of magnitude $5 \times 10^4\,N$ at its ends. If the elongations of the two rods are equal, then length of the steel rod $(L)$ is ........... $m$ $(Y_{Brass}=1.0\times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$ and $Y_{Steel} = 2.0 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$
The bulk modulus of rubber is $9.1 \times 10^8\,N/m^2$. To what depth a rubber ball be taken in a lake so that its volume is decreased by $0.1\%$ ? ....... $m$
One end of a uniform rod of mass $m_1$ and crosssectional area $A$ is hung from a ceiling. The other end of the bar is supporting mass $m_2$. The stress at the midpoint is
A suspended long metal wire is stretched a small distance $x$ by a load $W$ in newton suspended at the other end. Select the best answer out of the following
Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$, how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?
