For the same load wire with maximum elongation has minimum cross-section area
As $\frac{F L}{A Y}=\Delta x$
$F, L, Y$ are fixed so $\frac{1}{A} \propto \Delta x$
$\Rightarrow O A$ is the thinnest.

In steel, the Young's modulus and the strain at the breaking point are $2 \times {10^{11}}\,N{m^{ - 2}}$ and $0.15$ respectively. The stress at the breaking point for steel is therefore
The work done per unit volume to stretch the length of area of cross-section $2 \,mm ^2$ by $2 \%$ will be ....... $MJ / m ^3$ $\left[Y=8 \times 10^{10} \,N / m ^2\right]$
A cylindrical wire of radius $1\,\, mm$, length $1 m$, Young’s modulus $= 2 × 10^{11} N/m^2$, poisson’s ratio $\mu = \pi /10$ is stretched by a force of $100 N$. Its radius will become
A steel wire is $1 \,m$ long and $1 \,mm ^2$ in area of cross$-$section. If it takes $200 \,N$ to stretch this wire by $1 \,mm$, how much force will be required to stretch a wire of the same material as well as diameter from its normal length of $10 \,m$ to a length of $1002 \,cm$ is $........ N$
The upper end of a wire of radius $4\, mm$ and length $100\, cm$ is clamped and its other end is twisted through an angle of $60^o$. Then angle of shear is .......... $^o$
