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
A${L^2}Dg/E$
B${L^2}Dg/2E$
C${L^2}Dg/4E$
D$L$

b (b) $F=m g=(A L D) g$
stress $=\frac{F}{A}=L D g$
strain $=\frac{l}{L / 2}$
Stress $=E \times$ strain
$L D g=E \times \frac{l}{L / 2}$
$l=\frac{L^{2} D g}{2 E}$

For a constant hydraulic stress on an object, the fractional change in the object's volume $\left( {\frac{{\Delta V}}{V}} \right)$ and its bulk modulus $(B)$ are related as
A metal rod of cross-sectional area $10^{-4} \,m ^{2}$ is hanging in a chamber kept at $20^{\circ} C$ with a weight attached to its free end. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \,K ^{-1}$ and its Young's modulus is $4 \times 10^{12} \,N / m ^{2}$. When the temperature of the chamber is lowered to $T$, then a weight of $5000 \,N$ needs to be attached to the rod, so that its length is unchanged. Then, $T$ is ............ $^{\circ} C$
The ratio of the lengths of two wires $A$ and $B$ of same material is $1 : 2$ and the ratio of their diameter is $2 : 1.$ They are stretched by the same force, then the ratio of increase in length will be
On increasing the length by $0.5\, mm$ in a steel wire of length $2\, m$ and area of cross-section $2\,m{m^2}$, the force required is $[Y$ for steel$ = 2.2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}]$
Four uniform wires of the same material are stretched by the same force. The dimensions of wire are as given below. The one which has the minimum elongation has
