A cube of metal is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of $4\;GPa.$ The percentage change in the length of the side of the cube is close to.......$\%$
(Given bulk modulus of metal, $B =8 \times 10^{10}\, Pa$ )
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
Under the same load, wire $A$ having length $5.0\,m$ and cross section $2.5 \times 10^{-5}\,m ^2$ stretches uniformly by the same amount as another wire $B$ of length $6.0\,m$ and a cross section of $3.0 \times 10^{-5}\,m ^2$ stretches. The ratio of the Young's modulus of wire $A$ to that of wire $B$ will be
A uniform dense rod with non uniform young's modulus is hanging from ceiling under gravity. If elastic energy density at every point is same then young's modulus with $x$ will change as which of the shown graph
The load versus elongation graphs for four wires of same length and made of the same material are shown in the figure. The thinnest wire is represented by the line
As shown in the figure, in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire, the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the load axis. The length of wire is $62.8\,cm$ and its diameter is $4\,mm$. The Young's modulus is found to be $x \times$ $10^4\,Nm ^{-2}$. The value of $x$ is
The density and breaking stress of a wire are $6 \times$ $10^4 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3$ and $1.2 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$ respectively. The wire is suspended from a rigid support on a planet where acceleration due to gravity is $\frac{1^{\text {rd }}}{3}$ of the value on the surface of earth. The maximum length of the wire with breaking is ............ $\mathrm{m}$ (take, $\mathrm{g}=$ $\left.10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\right)$
An aluminum rod (Young's modulus $ = 7 \times {10^9}\,N/{m^2})$ has a breaking strain of $0.2\%$. The minimum cross-sectional area of the rod in order to support a load of ${10^4}$Newton's is
