Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the difference in their elongations is $0.5$ cm, the elongation $(l)$ of each wire is ${Y_s}({\rm{steel}}) = 2.0 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$${Y_c}({\rm{copper}}) = 1.2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$
On solving (i) and (ii) ${l_c} = 1.25\;cm$ and ${l_s} = 0.75\;cm$.

A wire elongates by $l$ $mm$ when a load $W$ is hanged from it. If the wire goes over a pulley and two weights $W$ each are hung at the two ends, the elongation of the wire will be (in $mm$)
To break a wire of one meter length, minimum $40 \,kg \,wt$. is required. Then the wire of the same material of double radius and $6 \,m$ length will require breaking weight ....... $kg \,wt$
The adjacent graph shows the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\, m$ suspended from the top of a roof at one end and with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6}\, m^2$, calculate the Young’s modulus of the material of the wire.
One end of a uniform wire of length $L$ and of weight $W$ is attached rigidly to a point in the roof and a weight ${W_1}$ is suspended from its lower end. If $S$ is the area of cross-section of the wire, the stress in the wire at a height $3L/4$ from its lower end is
Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the difference in their elongations is $0.5$ cm, the elongation $(l)$ of each wire is ${Y_s}({\rm{steel}}) = 2.0 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$${Y_c}({\rm{copper}}) = 1.2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$
A wire is loaded by $6\, kg$ at its one end, the increase in length is $12\, mm.$ If the radius of the wire is doubled and all other magnitudes are unchanged, then increase in length will be ......... $mm$
