Wires ${W}_{1}$ and ${W}_{2}$ are made of same material having the breaking stress of $1.25 \times 10^{9} \,{N} / {m}^{2}$ ${W}_{1}$ and ${W}_{2}$ have cross-sectional area of $8 \times 10^{-7}\, {m}^{2}$ and $4 \times 10^{-7}\, {m}^{2}$, respectively. Masses of $20 \,{kg}$ and $10\, {kg}$ hang from them as shown in the figure. The maximum mass that can be placed in the pan without breaking the wires is $.....{kg}$ (Use $\left.{g}=10\, {m} / {s}^{2}\right)$

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 rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion ${\alpha _1},\,{\alpha _2}$ and Young's moduli ${Y_1}$ and ${Y_2}$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If ${\alpha _1}:{\alpha _2} = 2:3$, the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equally provided ${Y_1}:{Y_2}$ is equal to
On increasing the length by $0.5\, mm$ in a steel wire of length $2\, m$ and area of cross-section $2\,m{m^2}$, the force required is $[Y$ for steel$ = 2.2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}]$
On all the six surfaces of a unit cube, equal tensile force of $F$ is applied. The increase in length of each side will be ($Y =$ Young's modulus, $\sigma $= Poission's ratio)
A cube of metal is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of $4\;GPa.$ The percentage change in the length of the side of the cube is close to.......$\%$
(Given bulk modulus of metal, $B =8 \times 10^{10}\, Pa$ )
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 ......... $mm$
