A wire of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is made of a material of Young's modulus $Y.$ It is stretched by an amount $x$. The work done is
  • A$\frac{{YxA}}{{2L}}$
  • B$\frac{{Y{x^2}A}}{L}$
  • C$\frac{{Y{x^2}A}}{{2L}}$
  • D$\frac{{2Y{x^2}A}}{L}$

    Two metallic wires $P$ and $Q$ have same volume and are made up of same material. If their area of cross sections are in the ratio $4: 1$ and force $F_1$ is applied to $\mathrm{P}$, an extension of $\Delta l$ is produced. The force which is required to produce same extension in $Q$ is $\mathrm{F}_2$.The value of $\frac{\mathrm{F}_1}{\mathrm{~F}_2}$ is__________.

    A string of area of cross-section $4\,mm ^{2}$ and length $0.5$ is connected with a rigid body of mass $2\,kg$. The body is rotated in a vertical circular path of radius $0.5\,m$. The body acquires a speed of $5\,m / s$ at the bottom of the circular path. Strain produced in the string when the body is at the bottom of the circle is $\ldots . . \times 10^{-5}$. (Use Young's modulus $10^{11}\,N / m ^{2}$ and $g =10\,m / s ^{2}$ )
