    In the given figure, two elastic rods $A$ & $B$ are rigidly joined to end supports. $A$ small mass $‘m’$ is moving with velocity $v$ between the rods. All collisions are assumed to be elastic & the surface is given to be frictionless. The time period of small mass $‘m’$ will be : [$A=$ area of cross section, $Y =$ Young’s modulus, $L=$ length of each rod ; here, an elastic rod may be treated as a spring of spring constant $\frac{{YA}}{L}$ ]

    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 $\left.\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right]$
