(a)

$Y=\frac{F L}{A \Delta L} \Rightarrow \text { Percentage increase } \frac{\Delta L}{L} \times 100=\frac{F}{A Y} \times 100$

$\text { Diameter }=2.5 \,mm$

$d=\frac{2.5}{1000} \,m$

Area $=\frac{\pi d^2}{4} \quad Y=12.5 \times 10^{11} \,dyne / cm ^2$  $\left\{\frac{1 \text { dyne }}{ cm ^2}=\frac{0.1 \,N }{ m ^2}\right\}$

$\Rightarrow A=\frac{\pi \times(2.5)^2}{4} \quad F=100 \times 10=1000 \,N$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1000 \times L}{\frac{3.14 \times(2.5)^2}{4 \times(1000)^2} \times 12.5 \times 10^{11} \times 0.1}=\frac{\Delta L}{L} \times 100$

$=0.16 \%$

    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 $\pi=3.2$.
