(d) At extension ${l_1}$, the stored energy $ = \frac{1}{2}Kl_1^2$
At extension ${l_2}$, the stored energy$ = \frac{1}{2}Kl_2^2$
Work done in increasing its extension from ${l_1}$ to ${l_2}$

Consider the situation shown in figure. The force $F$ is equal to the $m_2g/2.$ If the area of cross-section of the string is $A$ and its Young's modulus $Y$, find the strain developed in it. The string is light and there is no friction anywhere
The bulk modulus of a gas is defined as $B=-V d p / d V$. For an adiabatic process the variation of $B$ is proportional to $p^n$. For an ideal gas $n$ is
The mean distance between the atoms of iron is $3 \times {10^{ - 10}}m$ and interatomic force constant for iron is $7\,N\,/m$The Young’s modulus of elasticity for iron is
Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the difference in their elongations is $0.5$ cm, the elongation $(l)$ of each wire is ${Y_s}({\rm{steel}}) = 2.0 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$${Y_c}({\rm{copper}}) = 1.2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$
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.
