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?
A body of mass $\mathrm{m}=10\; \mathrm{kg}$ is attached to one end of a wire of length $0.3\; \mathrm{m} .$ The maximum angular speed (in $rad \;s^{-1}$ ) with which it can be rotated about its other end in space station is (Breaking stress of wire $=4.8 \times 10^{7} \;\mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$ and area of cross-section of the wire $=10^{-2}\; \mathrm{cm}^{2}$ ) is
The dimensions of four wires of the same material are given below. In which wire the increase in length will be maximum when the same tension is applied
A metal wire of length $L_1$ and area of cross section $A$ is attached to a rigid support. Another metal wire of length $L_2$ and of the same cross sectional area is attached to the free end of the first wire. A body of mass $M$ is then suspended from the free end of the second wire. If $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ are the Youngs moduli of the wires respectively, the effective force constant of the system of two wires is :
A wire of cross section $4 \;mm^2$ is stretched by $0.1\, mm$ by a certain weight. How far (length) will be wire of same material and length but of area $8 \;mm^2$ stretch under the action of same force......... $mm$
