Uncompressible
a (a) $\frac{{dV}}{V} = (1 + 2\sigma )\frac{{dL}}{{dL}}$
if $\sigma = - \frac{1}{2}$ then $\frac{{dV}}{V} = 0 $ i.e. $K = \infty$

The stress-strain curves are drawn for two different materials $X$ and $Y$. It is observed that the ultimate strength point and the fracture point are close to each other for material $X$ but are far apart for material $Y$. We can say that materials $X$ and $Y$ are likely to be (respectively)
What is the percentage increase in length of a wire of diameter $2.5 \,mm$, stretched by a force of $100 \,kg$ wt is .................. $\%$ ( Young's modulus of elasticity of wire $=12.5 \times 10^{11} \,dyne / cm ^2$ )
A wire of diameter $1mm$ breaks under a tension of $1000\, N.$ Another wire, of same material as that of the first one, but of diameter $2\, mm$ breaks under a tension of ...... $N$
A composite rod made up of two rods $AB$ and $BC$ are joined at $B$ . The rods are of equal length at room temperature and have equal masses. The coefficient of linear expansion a of $AB$ is more than that of $BC$. The composite rod is suspended horizontal by means of a thread at $B$. When the rod is heated
The diagram shows the change $x$ in the length of a thin uniform wire caused by the application of stress $F$ at two different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$. The variations shown suggest that
In steel, the Young's modulus and the strain at the breaking point are $2 \times {10^{11}}\,N{m^{ - 2}}$ and $0.15$ respectively. The stress at the breaking point for steel is therefore
