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
A$(1 / 4) \rho gL ^2 / Y$
B$(1 / 2) \rho g L ^2 / Y$
C$\rho g L ^2 / Y$
D$\rho g L / Y$

$\Delta \ell=\frac{ F ( L / 2)}{ AY }=\frac{( AL \rho g )( L / 2)}{ AY }$
$=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \rho g L ^2 / Y$

When a weight of $10\, kg$ is suspended from a copper wire of length $3$ metres and diameter $0.4\, mm,$ its length increases by $2.4\, cm$. If the diameter of the wire is doubled, then the extension in its length will be ........ $cm$
Two wires of equal lengths are made of the same material. Wire $A$ has a diameter that is twice as that of wire $B$. If identical weights are suspended from the ends of these wires, the increase in length is
If average depth of an ocean is $4000 \mathrm{~m}$ and the bulk modulus of water is $2 \times 10^9 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$, then fractional compression $\frac{\Delta V}{V}$ of water at the bottom of ocean is $\alpha \times 10^{-2}$. The value of $\alpha$ is ___________(Given, $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}, \rho=1000 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$ )
An Indian rubber cord $L$ metre long and area of cross-section $A$ $metr{e^2}$ is suspended vertically. Density of rubber is $D$ $kg/metr{e^3}$ and Young's modulus of rubber is $E$ $newton/metr{e^2}$. If the wire extends by $l$ metre under its own weight, then extension $l$ is
