The following four wires are made of same material. Which one will have the largest elongation when subjected to the same tension ?
ALength $500\,cm,$ diameter $0.05\,mm$
BLength $200\,cm,$ diameter $0.02\,mm$
CLength $300\,cm,$ diameter $0.03\,mm$

DLength $400\,cm,$ diameter $0.01\,mm$
d $F=\frac{Y_{\mathrm{A}} \Delta L}{\mathrm{L}}$
or $\Delta \mathrm{L}=\frac{\mathrm{FL}}{\mathrm{AY}}\left\{\mathrm{A}=\pi \mathrm{r}^{2}\right\}$
$\Rightarrow$ More $L/A,$ more elongation

To determine Young's modulus of a wire, the formula is $Y = \frac{F}{A}.\frac{L}{{\Delta L}}$ where $F/A$ is the stress and $L/\Delta L$ is the strain. The conversion factor to change $Y$ from $CGS$ to $MKS$ system is
Given : $\sigma$ is the compressibility of water, $\rho$ is the density of water and $K$ is the bulk modulus of water. What is the energy density of water at the bottom of a lake $‘h’$ metre deep ?
How much force is required to produce an increase of $0.2\%$ in the length of a brass wire of diameter $0.6\, mm$ (Young’s modulus for brass = $0.9 \times {10^{11}}N/{m^2}$)
Wires $A$ and $B$ are made from the same material. $A$ has twice the diameter and three times the length of $B.$ If the elastic limits are not reached, when each is stretched by the same tension, the ratio of energy stored in $A$ to that in $B$ is
A uniform copper rod of length $50 \,cm$ and diameter $3.0 \,mm$ is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface at $20^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is $2.0 \times 10^{-5} \,K ^{-1}$ and Young's modulus is $1.2 \times 10^{11} \,N / m ^2$. The copper rod is heated to $100^{\circ} C$, then the tension developed in the copper rod is .......... $\times 10^3 \,N$
If $\rho $ is the density of the material of a wire and $\sigma $ is breaking stress, the greatest length of the wire that can hang freely without breaking is
