Steel ruptures when a shear of $3 .5 \times 10^8\,\,N\,m^{-2}$ is applied. The force needed to punch a $1\,cm$ diameter hole in a steel sheet $0.3\,cm$ thick is nearly
A steel wire of length $3.2 m \left( Y _{ S }=2.0 \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}\right)$ and a copper wire of length $4.4\,M$ $\left( Y _{ C }=1.1 \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}\right)$, both of radius $1.4\,mm$ are connected end to end. When stretched by a load, the net elongation is found to be $1.4\,mm$. The load applied, in Newton, will be. (Given $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
The Young's modulus of a wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is $Y$. If the length is reduced to $\frac{L}{2}$ and radius is $\frac{r}{2}$ , then the Young's modulus will be
When a certain weight is suspended from a long uniform wire, its length increases by one cm. If the same weight is suspended from another wire of the same material and length but having a diameter half of the first one then the increase in length will be ........ $cm$
A bob of mass $10\, kg$ is attached to wire $0.3\, m$ long. Its breaking stress is $4.8 \times 10^7 N/m^2$. The area of cross section of the wire is $10^{-6} m^2$. The maximum angular velocity with which it can be rotated in a horizontal circle ....... $rad/sec$
A cubical solid aluminium (bulk modulus $=-V \frac{ dP }{ dV }=70 GPa$ ) block has an edge length of $1 m$ on the surface of the earth. It is kept on the floor of a $5 km$ deep ocean. Taking the average density of water and the acceleration due to gravity to be $10^3 kg m ^{-3}$ and $10 ms ^{-2}$, respectively, the change in the edge length of the block in $mm$ is . . . . .
A metal wire having Poisson's ratio $1 / 4$ and Young's modulus $8 \times 10^{10} \,N / m ^2$ is stretched by a force, which produces a lateral strain of $0.02 \%$ in it. The elastic potential energy stored per unit volume in wire is $[$in $J / m ^3]$
