c Stress is internal force (restoring force) developed within the body of the object. Since it is easier to stretch rubber so it is less stressful and therefore less elastic.

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ are connected by means of a metal wire of cross-sectional area $A$ passing over a frictionless fixed pulley as shown in the figure. The system is then released. If $M = 2\, m$, then the stress produced in the wire is
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 ............ $^{\circ} C$
How much force is required to produce an increase of $0.2\%$ in the length of a brass wire of diameter $0.6\, mm$ (Young’s modulus for brass = $0.9 \times {10^{11}}N/{m^2}$)
Young's moduli of the material of wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio of $1: 4$, while its area of cross sections are in the ratio of $1: 3$. If the same amount of load is applied to both the wires, the amount of elongation produced in the wires $A$ and $B$ will be in the ratio of
A metal wire of length $L_1$ and area of cross section $A$ is attached to a rigid support. Another metal wire of length $L_2$ and of the same cross sectional area is attached to the free end of the first wire. A body of mass $M$ is then suspended from the free end of the second wire. If $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ are the Youngs moduli of the wires respectively, the effective force constant of the system of two wires is :
