Which of the following curve represents the correctly distribution of elongation $(y)$ along heavy rod under its own weight $L \rightarrow$ length of rod, $x \rightarrow$ distance of point from lower end?
In a series combination of copper and steel wires of same length and same diameter, a force is applied at one of their ends while the other end is kept fixed. The combined length is increased by $2\, cm$. The wires will have ..........
Each of three blocks $P$, $Q$ and $R$ shown in figure has a mass of $3 \mathrm{~kg}$. Each of the wire $A$ and $B$ has cross-sectional area $0.005 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}$. Neglecting friction, the longitudinal strain on wire $B$ is____________ $\times 10^{-4}$. $\left(\right.$ Take $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )
