B$16:1$
b (b) ${\rm{strain}} \propto {\rm{stress}} \propto \frac{{\rm{F}}}{{\rm{A}}}$
Ratio of strain =$\frac{{{A_2}}}{{{A_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}} \right)^2} = {\left( {\frac{4}{1}} \right)^2} = \frac{{16}}{1}$

The bulk modulus of a gas is defined as $B=-V d p / d V$. For an adiabatic process the variation of $B$ is proportional to $p^n$. For an ideal gas $n$ is
A wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force $F$, the increase in its length is $l$. If another wire of same material but of length $2L$ and radius $2r$ is stretched with a force of $2F$, the increase in its length will be
A uniform wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is twisted by an angle $\alpha$. If modulus of rigidity of the wire is $\eta,$ then the elastic potential energy stored in wire, is $.........$
One end of a metal wire is fixed to a ceiling and a load of $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ hangs from the other end. A similar wire is attached to the bottom of the load and another load of $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ hangs from this lower wire. Then the ratio of longitudinal strain of upper wire to that of the lower wire will be____________.
[Area of cross section of wire $=0.005 \mathrm{~cm}^2$, $\mathrm{Y}=2 \times 10^{11}\ \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$ and $\left.\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right]$
A compressive force, $F$ is applied at the two ends of a long thin steel rod. It is heated, simultaneously, such that its temperature increases by $\Delta T$. The net change in its length is zero. Let $l$ be the length of the rod, $A$ its area of cross- section, $Y$ its Young's modulus, and $\alpha $ its coefficient of linear expansion. Then, $F$ is equal to
A suspended long metal wire is stretched a small distance $x$ by a load $W$ in newton suspended at the other end. Select the best answer out of the following
Two steel wires having same length are suspended from a ceiling under the same load. If the ratio of their energy stored per unit volume is $1: 4,$ the ratio of their diameters is
