A metal rod of cross-sectional area $10^{-4} \,m ^{2}$ is hanging in a chamber kept at $20^{\circ} C$ with a weight attached to its free end. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \,K ^{-1}$ and its Young's modulus is $4 \times 10^{12} \,N / m ^{2}$. When the temperature of the chamber is lowered to $T$, then a weight of $5000 \,N$ needs to be attached to the rod, so that its length is unchanged. Then, $T$ is ............ $^{\circ} C$
A material has Poisson's ratio $0.50.$ If a uniform rod of it suffers a longitudinal strain of $2 \times {10^{ - 3}}$, then the percentage change in volume is
A copper wire of length $4.0m$ and area of cross-section $1.2\,c{m^2}$ is stretched with a force of $4.8 \times {10^3}$ $N.$ If Young’s modulus for copper is $1.2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2},$ the increase in the length of the wire will be
One end of a uniform rod of mass $m_1$ and crosssectional area $A$ is hung from a ceiling. The other end of the bar is supporting mass $m_2$. The stress at the midpoint is
A pan with set of weights is attached with a light spring. When disturbed, the mass-spring system oscillates with a time period of $0.6$ $s.$ When some additional weights are added then time period is $0.7s.$ The extension caused by the additional weights is approximately given by ......... $cm$
A boy’s catapult is made of rubber cord which is $42\, cm$ long, with $6\, mm$ diameter of cross -section and of negligible mass. The boy keeps a stone weighing $0.02\, kg$ on it and stretches the cord by $20\, cm$ by applying a constant force. When released, the stone flies off with a velocity of $20\, ms^{-1}$. Neglect the change in the area of cross section of the cord while stretched. The Young’s modulus of rubber is closest to
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
