As shown in the figure, in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire, the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the load axis. The length of wire is $62.8\,cm$ and its diameter is $4\,mm$. The Young's modulus is found to be $x \times$ $10^4\,Nm ^{-2}$. The value of $x$ is
A wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped at one end. If its other end is pulled by a force $F$, its length increases by $l$. If the radius of the wire and the applied force both are reduced to half of their original values keeping original length constant, the increase in length will become.

Two wires of copper having the length in the ratio $4 : 1$ and their radii ratio as $1 : 4$ are stretched by the same force. The ratio of longitudinal strain in the two will be
If one end of a wire is fixed with a rigid support and the other end is stretched by a force of $10 \,N,$ then the increase in length is $0.5\, mm$. The ratio of the energy of the wire and the work done in displacing it through $1.5\, mm$ by the weight is
Two rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion ${\alpha _1},\,{\alpha _2}$ and Young's moduli ${Y_1}$ and ${Y_2}$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If ${\alpha _1}:{\alpha _2} = 2:3$, the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equally provided ${Y_1}:{Y_2}$ is equal to
