A copper solid cube of $60\,\, mm$ side is subjected to a pressure of $2.5 \times 10^7\, Pa$. If the bulk modulus of copper is $1.25 \times 10^{11}\, N/m^2$, the change in the volume of cube is
Increase in length of a wire is $1\, mm$ when suspended by a weight. If the same weight is suspended on a wire of double its length and double its radius, the increase in length will be ........ $mm$
Two blocks of mass $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ and $4 \mathrm{~kg}$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in figure. The radius of wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5}$ $\mathrm{m}$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$. The longitudinal strain developed in the wire is $\frac{1}{\alpha \pi}$. The value of $\alpha$ is [Use $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )
To break a wire of one meter length, minimum $40 \,kg \,wt$. is required. Then the wire of the same material of double radius and $6 \,m$ length will require breaking weight ....... $kg \,wt$
Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. However wire $1$ has crosssectional area $A$ and wire $2$ has cross-section area $3A$. If the length of wire $1$ increases by $\Delta x$ on applying force $F$, how much force is needed to stretch wire $2$ by the same amount?
