A wire of cross sectional area $A$, modulus of elasticity $2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$ and length $2 \mathrm{~m}$ is stretched between two vertical rigid supports. When a mass of $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ is suspended at the middle it sags lower from its original position making angle $\theta=\frac{1}{100}$ radian on the points of support. The value of $A$ is. . . . . .  $\times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2$ (consider $\mathrm{x}<\mathrm{L}$ ).

(given: $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )

    A steel wire of diameter $0.5 mm$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} N m ^{-2}$ carries a load of mass $M$. The length of the wire with the load is $1.0 m$. A vernier scale with $10$ divisions is attached to the end of this wire. Next to the steel wire is a reference wire to which a main scale, of least count $1.0 mm$, is attached. The $10$ divisions of the vernier scale correspond to $9$ divisions of the main scale. Initially, the zero of vernier scale coincides with the zero of main scale. If the load on the steel wire is increased by $1.2 kg$, the vernier scale division which coincides with a main scale division is. . . . Take $g =10 m s ^{-2}$ and $\pi=3.2$.
