Two wires of the same material (Young's modulus  $Y$ ) and same length $L$  but radii  $R$  and  $2R$  respectively are joined end to end and a weight  $W$  is suspended from the combination as shown in the figure. The elastic potential energy in the system is
  • A$\frac{{3{W^2}L}}{{4\pi {R^2}Y}}$
  • B$\frac{{3{W^2}L}}{{8\pi {R^2}Y}}$
  • C$\frac{{5{W^2}L}}{{8\pi {R^2}Y}}$
  • D$\frac{{{W^2}L}}{{\pi {R^2}Y}}$

    A steel wire of diameter $0.5 mm$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} N m ^{-2}$ carries a load of mass $M$. The length of the wire with the load is $1.0 m$. A vernier scale with $10$ divisions is attached to the end of this wire. Next to the steel wire is a reference wire to which a main scale, of least count $1.0 mm$, is attached. The $10$ divisions of the vernier scale correspond to $9$ divisions of the main scale. Initially, the zero of vernier scale coincides with the zero of main scale. If the load on the steel wire is increased by $1.2 kg$, the vernier scale division which coincides with a main scale division is. . . . Take $g =10 m s ^{-2}$ and $\pi=3.2$.
