Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$, how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?
  • $9F$
  • B
    $6F$
  • C
    $F$
  • D
    $4F$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$9F$
a
$Young's\,modulus,\,Y = \frac{{Fl}}{{A\Delta l}}$

Since initial volume of wires are same

$\therefore $ Their areas of cross sections are $A$ and $3A$ and lengths are $3l$ and $l$ respectively.

For Wire $1,$

$\Delta l = \left( {\frac{F}{{AY}}} \right)3l\,$                   $...(i)$

For wire $2$, let $F'$ force is applied

$\frac{{F'}}{{3A}} = Y\frac{{\Delta l}}{l}$

$ \Rightarrow \Delta l = \left( {\frac{{F'}}{{3AY}}} \right)l$

From eqns $(i)$ and $(ii),$ 

$\left( {\frac{F}{{AY}}} \right)3l = \left( {\frac{{F'}}{{3AY}}} \right)l \Rightarrow F' = 9F$

  • $\frac{1}{{1 - \frac{p}{B}}}$
  • B
    $1+$$\frac{p}{B}$
  • C
    $\;\frac{1}{{1 + \frac{p}{B}}}$
  • D
    $1+ \frac{B}{p}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{{1 - \frac{p}{B}}}$
a
$B =- V \frac{ dP }{ dV }$

Thus, $\Delta V =-\frac{ pV }{ B }$ or $V ^{\prime}- V =-\frac{ pV }{ B }$ Or, $V^{\prime}=V\left(1-\frac{p}{B}\right)$

Now, $\rho^{\prime}=\frac{ m }{ V ^{\prime}}=\frac{ m }{ V \left(1-\frac{ P }{ B }\right)}=\frac{\rho}{\left(1-\frac{ p }{ B }\right)}$

$\frac{\rho^{\prime}}{\rho}=\frac{1}{\left(1-\frac{ p }{ B }\right)}$

  • A
    $\frac{{3P}}{B}$
  • $\;\frac{P}{{3B}}$
  • C
    $\;\frac{P}{B}$
  • D
    $\frac{B}{{3P}}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\;\frac{P}{{3B}}$
b
Bulk modulus $B$ is given as

$B = \frac{{ - pV}}{{\Delta V}}$                                    $...(i)$

The volume of a spherical object of radius $r$ is given as

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}\,\,,\,\,\Delta V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \left( {3{r^2}} \right)\Delta r$

$\therefore  - \frac{V}{{\Delta V}} = \frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}}}{{\frac{4}{3}\pi 3{r^2}\Delta r}}\,\,or\,\, - \frac{V}{{\Delta V}} =  - \frac{r}{{3\Delta r}}$

Put this value in eqn. $(i)$, we get

$B =  - \frac{{pr}}{{3\Delta r}}$

Fractional decrease in radius is 

$ - \frac{{\Delta r}}{r} = \frac{p}{{3B}}$

    $2.6$
  • C
    $3$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: A.
$2.3$
a
(a)

We know

$\frac{\text { Force } \times \text { Length }}{\text { Area } \times \text { young's modulus }}=$ elongation $\quad\left\{\frac{F L}{A y}=\Delta x\right\}$

$\Rightarrow F=\left(\frac{\Delta x \cdot y}{L}\right) A$

$F=\left(\frac{\Delta x \cdot y}{L} \cdot \frac{\pi}{4}\right) d^2$

We can say $F \propto d^2$

So we can use

  • C
    $0.08$
  • D
    $0.12$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0.16$
a
(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 $=\frac{\pi d^2}{4} \quad Y=12.5 \times 10^{11} \,dyne / cm ^2$  $\left\{\frac{1 \text { dyne }}{ cm ^2}=\frac{0.1 \,N }{ m ^2}\right\}$

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

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

Given, $Y_{\text {steel }}=20 \times 10^{11} \,dyne / cm ^2$, $Y_{\text {copper }}=12 \times 10^{11} \,dyne / cm ^2$
  • A
    $1.25 \,cm ; 0.75 \,cm$
  • $0.75 \,cm ; 1.25 \,cm$
  • C
    $1,15 \,cm , 0.85 \,cm$
  • D
    $0.85 \,cm ; 1.15 \,cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$0.75 \,cm ; 1.25 \,cm$
b
(b)

Let us say that elongation in copper $=x$

Than elongation in steel $=2-x$

We know

$\frac{F L}{A Y}=\Delta x$

$\because F, A, L$ are same only material is different We can say

$\frac{1}{Y} \propto \Delta x$

$\frac{Y_2}{Y_1}=\frac{\Delta x_1}{\Delta x_2}$   $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\text { Where } \\ Y_2=Y_{\text {steel }} \\ Y_1=Y_{\text {copper }} \\ \Delta x_1=\text { elongation in copper }=x \\ \Delta x_2=2-x\end{array}\right.$

Substituting values

$\frac{20 \times 10^{11}}{12 \times 10^{11}}=\frac{x}{2-x}$

$x=1.25 \,cm$

So $\Delta x_{\text {copper }}=1.25 \,cm , \Delta x_{\text {sleel }}=0.75 \,cm$

    $100.5$
  • $201$
  • C
    $78$
  • D
    $150$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$201$
b
(b)

$\text { Strain }=0.32 \%$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta L}{L} \times 100=0.32$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta L}{L}=\frac{0.32}{100}$

$A=\pi r^2=3.14 \times\left(\frac{10}{1000}\right)^2$

$Y=2 \times 10^{11} \,Nm ^2$

We know

$\frac{F L}{A Y}=\Delta L$

$F=\left(\frac{\Delta L}{L}\right) \times A \times Y$

Substituting values

$F=\frac{0.32}{100} \times 3.14 \times\left(\frac{10}{1000}\right)^2 \times 2 \times 10^{11}$

$F=201 \,kN$

The Bulk Modulus for an incompressible liquid is
  • A
    zero
  • B
    unity
  • infinity
  • D
    between $0$ and $1$
Answer
Correct option: C.
infinity
c
We know that the bulk modulus is,

$\mathrm{B}=-\frac{\mathrm{dpV}}{\Delta \mathrm{V}}$

Here $\mathrm{p}=$ Pressure (stress)

$-\frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}}=\text { Volume strain }$

But liquid is incompressible, so

${\Delta \mathrm{V}=0} $

Hence,  ${\mathrm{B}=-\frac{\mathrm{pV}}{0}=\infty}$

or $\mathrm{B}=\infty$ (infinity)

Bulk modulus, $\mathrm{B}=\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\Delta \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{V}}$

Fractional change in volume, $\frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}}=\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{B}}$

Here, $P=10$ atm $=10 \times 1 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{N} \mathrm{m}^{-2}$

$\mathrm{B}=37 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{N} \mathrm{m}^{-2}$

$\therefore \quad \frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}}=\frac{1 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}}{37 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}}=0.027 \times 10^{-3}$

(b)

$\text { Modulus of rigidity }(G)=\frac{\text { Force } \times \text { Length }}{\text { Area } \times \text { Lateral displacement }}=\frac{F L}{A \times \Delta x}$

$F=10 \,kN =10 \times 10^3 \,N$

$L=4 \,cm =0.04 \,m$

$A=1 \,cm ^2=1 \times 10^{-4} \,m ^2$

$G=8 \times 10^{11}\,N / m ^2$

Substituting values

$8 \times 10^{11}=\frac{10 \times 10^3 \times 0.04}{1 \times 10^{-4} \times \Delta x}$

$\Delta x=\frac{10 \times 10^3 \times 0.04}{1 \times 10^{-4} \times 8 \times 10^{11}}=5 \times 10^{-6} \,m$

$\frac{\text { Lateral strain }}{\text { Longitudinal strain }}=\eta=0.5$

$\frac{-\Delta r / r}{\Delta l / l}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{-2 \Delta r}{r}=\frac{\Delta l}{l}$

Magnitute wise both are equal but sign's would be different as both quantities cannot increase

Now volume $\propto$ area $\times$ length $v \propto r^2 \cdot L$

$\frac{\Delta V}{V}=\frac{2 \Delta r}{r}+\frac{\Delta L}{L}$

Substituting value of $\frac{\Delta L}{L}$

$\frac{\Delta V}{V}=0$

$(a)$ Length of rod given remains unchanged. This means contraction due to cooling is equals to elongation due to hanging of weight.

As, thermal strain $=$ strain caused by

$\alpha \Delta \theta=\frac{\Delta l}{l}$

$\Rightarrow \Delta \theta=\frac{\Delta  l}{l\alpha}=\frac{F}{Y A} \quad\left(\because Y=\frac{F l }{A\Delta l}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \Delta \theta=\frac{5000}{4 \times 10^{12} \times 10^{-4} \times 2.5 \times 10^{-6}}=5^{\circ} C$

Note $\Delta \theta$ in $K$ is same as $\Delta \theta$ in ${ }^{\circ} C$.

$\therefore 20-T=5^{\circ} C \text { or } T=15^{\circ} C$

A horizontal steel railroad track has a length of $100 \,m$, when the temperature is $25^{\circ} C$. The track is constrained from expanding or bending. The stress on the track on a hot summer day, when the temperature is $40^{\circ} C$ is ............. $\times 10^7\,Pa$ (Note : The linear coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is $1.1 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and the Young's modulus of steel is $2 \times 10^{11} \,Pa$ )
  • A
    $6.6$
  • B
    $8.8$
  • $3.3$
  • D
    $5.5$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$3.3$
c
(c)

As the steel rail is contrained from expansion, the expansion pressure causes stress in the steel rail.

Thermal stress depends upon coefficient of expansion $\alpha$ and rise of temperature $\Delta T$.

$\therefore$ 'Thermal stress, $\sigma \propto \alpha \Delta T$

$\Rightarrow \sigma=Y \cdot \alpha \cdot \Delta T$ (where, $Y=$ Young's modulus)

$\therefore \sigma =2 \times 10^{11} \times 11 \times 10^{-5} \times(40-25)$

$=3.3 \times 10^7 \,Pa$

One end of a slack wire (Young's modulus $Y$, length $L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ ) is clamped to a rigid wall and the other end to a block (mass $m$ ), which rests on a smooth horizontal plane. The block is set in motion with a speed $v$. What is the maximum distance, then the block will travel after the wire becomes taut?
  • $v \sqrt{\frac{m L}{A Y}}$
  • B
    $v \sqrt{\frac{2 m L}{A Y}}$
  • C
    $v \sqrt{\frac{m L}{2 A Y}}$
  • D
    $L \sqrt{\frac{m v}{A Y}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$v \sqrt{\frac{m L}{A Y}}$
a
(a)

Kinetic energy of block is converted into potential energy of stretched wire.

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{2} m v^2=\frac{1}{2} \text { Stress } \times \text { Strain } \times \text { Volume }$

$\Rightarrow m v^2=\frac{\text { Stress }}{\text { Strain }} \times(\text { Strain })^2 \times \text { Volume }$

$\Rightarrow m v^2=Y \times \frac{\Delta l^2}{L^2} \times A \times L \Rightarrow \Delta l^2=\frac{m v^2 L}{A Y}$

$\therefore \quad \Delta l=v \sqrt{\frac{m L}{A Y}}$

So, distance travelled by block in stretching the wire is $\Delta l=v \sqrt{\frac{m L}{A Y}}$.

A solid expands upon heating because
  • the potential energy of interaction between atoms in the solid is asymmetric about the equilibrium positions of atoms
  • B
    the frequency of vibration of the atoms increases
  • C
    the heating generates a thermal gradient between opposite sides
  • D
    a fluid called the caloric flows into the interatomic spacing of the solid during heating there by expanding it
Answer
Correct option: A.
the potential energy of interaction between atoms in the solid is asymmetric about the equilibrium positions of atoms
a
(a)

Potential energy versus separation plot for two atoms in a solid is as shown below.

From above graph, we see that as temperature rises $\left(T_3 > T_2 > T_1\right)$, total energy of atoms also increases $\left(E_3 > E_2 > E_1\right)$

As a result, mean separation between atoms also increases $\left(r_3 > r_2 > r_1\right)$.

Hence, crystalline solids in general expands on heating.

$\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{5}{6}=\frac{\ell_1-\ell_0}{\ell_2-\ell_0}$

$5 \ell_2-5 \ell_0=6 \ell_1-6 \ell_0$

$\ell_0=6 \ell_1-5 \ell_2$

$\ell_0=6 \ell_1-5\left(\frac{11 \ell_1}{10}\right)$

$\frac{l \text { eq }}{ Y _{\text {eq }}}=\frac{l}{ Y _{1}}+\frac{l}{ Y _{2}}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{2 l}{ Y }=\frac{l}{ Y _{1}}+\frac{l}{ Y _{2}}$

$\therefore Y=\frac{2 Y_{1} Y_{2}}{Y_{1}+Y_{2}}$

  • A
    $Y =\frac{9 K \eta}{3 K -\eta} N / m ^{2}$
  • B
    $\eta=\frac{3 YK }{9 K + Y } N / m ^{2}$
  • C
    $Y =\frac{9 K \eta}{2 \eta+3 K } N / m ^{2}$
  • $K =\frac{ Y\eta }{9 \eta-3 Y } N / m ^{2}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$K =\frac{ Y\eta }{9 \eta-3 Y } N / m ^{2}$
d
$Y-$ Younge modulus, $K$ - Bulk modulus,

$\eta$ - modulus of rigidity

We know that

$y=3 k(1-2 \sigma)$

$\sigma=\frac{1}{2}\left(1-\frac{ y }{3 k }\right)$     $.........(i)$

$y =2 \eta(1+\sigma)$

$\sigma=\frac{y}{2 \eta}-1$       $........(ii)$

From Eq.$(i)$ and Eq. $(ii)$

$\frac{1}{2}\left(1-\frac{ Y }{3 k }\right)=\frac{ y }{2 \eta}-1$

$1-\frac{y}{3 k}=\frac{y}{\eta}-2$

$\frac{y}{3 k}=3-\frac{y}{\eta}$

$\frac{y}{3 k}=\frac{3 \eta-y}{\eta}$

$\frac{\eta y }{3 k }=3 \eta- y$

$k =\frac{\eta y }{9 \eta-3 y }$

As liner dimension increases by a factor of $9$

$\frac{{{v_f}}}{{{v_i}}} = {9^3}$

Density remains same

So, mass $\propto$ Volume

A uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus $Y$  and has a normal, unextended length $L.$ The radii, at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire, have values $R$ and $3R,$  respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass $M$ is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length, of this wire, would equal 
  • A
    $L\left( {1 + \frac{2}{9}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
  • B
    $L\left( {1 + \frac{1}{9}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
  • $L\left( {1 + \frac{1}{3}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
  • D
    $L\left( {1 + \frac{2}{3}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$L\left( {1 + \frac{1}{3}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
c
Consider a small element $dx$ of radius $r$,

$r = \frac{{2R}}{L}x + R$

At equilibrium change in length of the wire

$\int\limits_0^l {dL = \int {\frac{{Mgdx}}{{\pi {{\left[ {\frac{{2R}}{L}x + R} \right]}^2}y}}} } $

Taking limit from $0$ to $L$

$\Delta L = \frac{{Mg}}{{\pi y}} - \frac{1}{{\left[ {\frac{{2Rx}}{L} + R} \right]_0^L}} \times \frac{L}{{2R}} = \frac{{MgL}}{{3\pi {R^2}y}}$

The equilibrium extended length of wire

$ = L + \Delta L$

$ = L + \frac{{MgL}}{{3\pi {R^2}Y}} = L\left( {1 + \frac{1}{3}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$

  • The maximum value of $Y$ that can be determined is $10^{14}\,N/m^2$
  • B
    $\frac{{\Delta Y}}{Y}$ gets minimum contribution from the uncertainty in the length
  • C
    $\frac{{\Delta Y}}{Y}$ gets its maximum contribution from the uncertainty in strain 
  • D
    The figure of merit is the largest for the length of the rod.
Answer
Correct option: A.
The maximum value of $Y$ that can be determined is $10^{14}\,N/m^2$

d
$Stress = \frac{{Normal\,force}}{{Area}} = \frac{N}{A} = \frac{N}{{\left( {2\pi a} \right)b}}$

$Stress = B \times strain$

$\frac{N}{{\left( {2\pi a} \right)b}} = B\frac{{2\pi a\Delta a \times b}}{{\pi {a^2}b}}$

Shearing strain is created along the side surface of the punched disk. Note that the forces exerted on the disk are exerted along 

the circum ference of the disk, and the total force exerted on its center only.

Letus assume that the shearing stress along the side surface of the disk is uniform, then

$F > \int\limits_{Surface} {d{F_{\max }} = \int\limits_{surface} {{\sigma _{\max }}dA = {\sigma _{\max }}} \int\limits_{surface} {dA} } $

$ = \int {{\sigma _{\max }}} .A = {\sigma _{\max }}.2\pi \left( {\frac{D}{2}} \right)h$

  • D
    $cos\, \theta $
Answer
Correct option: A.
$tan\, \theta $
a
Consider the equilibrium of the plane $\mathrm{BB'}$ 

A force $F$ must be acting on this plane making an angle $\left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right)$ with the normal $ON.$ Resolving $F$ into two compoents, along the plane and normal to the plane.

Component of force $\mathrm{F}$ along the plane.

$\therefore \quad \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}}=\mathrm{F} \cos \theta$

component of force $\mathrm{F}$ normal to the plane.

$\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{N}}=\mathrm{F} \cos \left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right)=\mathrm{F} \sin \theta$

Let the area of the face $\mathrm{BB}^{\prime}$ be $\mathrm{A}^{\prime}$. Then

$\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{A}^{\prime}}=\sin \theta \quad \therefore \quad \mathrm{A}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\sin \theta}$

Tensile stress $=\frac{\mathrm{F} \sin \theta}{\mathrm{A}^{\prime}}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{A}} \sin ^{2} \theta$

Shearing stress $=\frac{\mathrm{F} \cos \theta}{\mathrm{A}^{\prime}}$

$=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{A}} \cos \theta \sin \theta$

Their corresponding ratio is

$\frac{\text { Tensilestress }}{\text { Shearing stress }}=\frac{F}{A} \sin ^{2} \theta \times \frac{A}{F \sin \theta \cos \theta}=\tan \theta$

    $0$
  • B
    $30$
  • $60$
  • D
    $90$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$60$
c
Let the maximum angular amplitude be $\theta .$ When the pendulum bob moves from $\mathrm{B}$ to $\mathrm{A}$, the decrease in potential energy $=$ the increase in kinetic energy at $A$

${\mathop{\rm mg}\nolimits} ({\rm{PA}}) = \frac{1}{2}{\rm{m}}{{\rm{v}}^2}{\rm{;mgh}} = \frac{1}{2}{\rm{m}}{{\rm{v}}^2}$

$v^{2}=2 g(P A)=2 g(O A-O P)$

${v^2} = 2g(l - l\cos \theta )$

${T-m g=\frac{m v^{2}}{l}} $

${T-m g=\frac{m}{l} \cdot 2 g((1-\cos \theta)}$

${T-m g=2 m g(1-\cos \theta)}$       ......$(i)$

At $A, \quad T=T_{\max }=2 m g$

On putting this value of $\mathrm{T}$ in eq. $(i).$ we get

${2 m g-m g=2 m g(1-\cos \theta)} $

or  ${1-\cos \theta=\frac{1}{2}}$

$ \cos \theta =\frac{1}{2} $

$ \theta =60^{\circ} $

    $a - b$
  • $5b - 4a$
  • C
    $2b - \frac{1}{4}a$
  • D
    $4a - 3b$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$5b - 4a$
b
(b) Let $L$ is the original length of the wire and $K$ is force constant of wire.

Final length $=$ initial length $+$ elongation 

$L' = L + \frac{F}{K}$ 

For first condition $a = L + \frac{4}{K}$…$(i)$

For second condition $b = L + \frac{5}{K}$…$(ii)$

By solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$ equation we get 

$L = 5a - 4b$ and $K = \frac{1}{{b - a}}$

Now when the longitudinal tension is $9N,$ 

length of the string $=$ $L + \frac{9}{K}$= $5a - 4b + 9(b - a)$$x = 5b - 4a$.

(b) $2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{k}} = 0.6$ …$(i)$ and $2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{m + m'}}{k}} = 0.7$ …$(ii)$

Dividing $(ii)$ by $(i)$ we get ${\left( {\frac{7}{6}} \right)^2} = \frac{{m + m'}}{m} = \frac{{49}}{{36}}$

$\frac{{m + m'}}{m} - 1 = \frac{{49}}{{36}} - 1 \Rightarrow \frac{{m'}}{m} = \frac{{13}}{{36}}$ $⇒$ $m' = \frac{{13m}}{{36}}$

Also $\frac{k}{m} = \frac{{4{\pi ^2}}}{{{{(0.6)}^2}}}$

Desired extension $ = \frac{{m'g}}{k}$$ = \frac{{13}}{{36}} \times \frac{{mg}}{k}$

$L_{f}=L_{i}(1+\alpha \Delta T)$

$L_{S_{f}}=L_{S_{i}}\left[1+\alpha_{S} \Delta T\right]$

$\Rightarrow \Delta L_{\text {steel}}=L_{S_{i}} \alpha_{S} \Delta T$

$L_{C_{f}}=L_{C_{i}}\left[1+\alpha_{C} \Delta T\right]$

$\Rightarrow \Delta L_{\text {copper}}=L_{C_{i}} \alpha_{C} \Delta T$

For $\Delta L_{\text {steel }}=\Delta L_{\text {copper }}$

$\Rightarrow L_{S_{i}} \alpha_{S} \Delta T=L_{C_{i}} \alpha_{C} \Delta T$

$\Rightarrow \frac{L_{S_{i}}}{L_{C_{i}}}=\frac{\alpha_{C}}{\alpha_{S}}=\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-5}}{1.2 \times 10^{-5}}=\frac{3}{2}$

  • C
    $\frac{l_1+l_2}{2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{l_1 l_2}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{M_1}{M_2}\left(l_1-l_2\right)+l_1$
a
(a)

Let the natural length of wire be $=1$

When only $M_1$ hanging

Using $\Delta l=\frac{F L}{A Y}$

$\left(l_1-l \right)=\frac{M_1 g \cdot l}{A Y \ldots(1)}$

When both $M_1, M_2$ hanging

$\left(l_2-l\right)=\frac{\left(M_1+M_2\right) g \cdot l}{A Y} \ldots(2)$

Dividing $(1)$ by $(2)$

$\frac{l_1-l}{l_2-l}=\frac{M_1}{M_1+M_2}$

Solving this we get

$I=\frac{M_1}{M_2}\left(l_1-l_2\right)+I_1$

  • $\left(\frac{M g l^3}{Y A}\right)^{1 / 3}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\left(\frac{M g l^3}{Y A}\right)^{1 / 3}$
d
Now, increave in tength $=2 P S-P R$

$=2 \sqrt{l^2+x^2}-2 l$.

$=2\left(\sqrt{\ell^2+x^2}-l\right)$.

$=2 l\left(\sqrt{1+x^2 /l^2}-1\right)$

$\therefore$ strain $=\frac{2 l\left[\sqrt{1+x^2/l^2}-1\right]}{2 l}$

$=\left(1+x^2 / l^2\right)^{1 / 2}-1$

$=1+\frac{1}{2} x^2 / L^2-1=\frac{x^2}{2l^2}$

Now, tension, $T=\frac{m g}{2 \cos \theta}$

$\cos \theta=\frac{x}{\left(1+\frac{x^2}{l^2}\right)^{1 / 2} l}$

$=\frac{x}{\left(1+\frac{1}{2} \frac{x^2}{l^2}\right) l}$

$=x / l(\because l>>x)$

$T=\frac{m g}{2 \cos \theta}$

$=\frac{m g l}{2 x}$

Stress $=T/ A=\frac{2 m g l}{2 A x}$

$y=\frac{m g l / 2 A x}{x^2 / 2 l^2}=\frac{m g l^3}{A x^3}$.

$\therefore x=l\left(\frac{m g}{\text { YA }}\right)^{1 / 3}$

The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of same length and of same area of cross section, one of steel and another of brass are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level, then the weights added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of
  • $2:1$
  • B
    $1:2$
  • C
    $1:1$
  • D
    $4:1$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$2:1$
a
Let $'L'$ and $A$ be lenght and area of cross section of each wire. In order to have the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level $(i.e.,\,same\,elongation\,is\,produced\,in\,both\,wiers)$ let weights $W_s$ and $W_b$ are added to steel and brass wires respectively. Then, By definition of $Young's$ modulus, the elongation produced in the steel wire is 

 $\Delta {L_s} = \frac{{{W_s}L}}{{{Y_s}A}}$                          $\left( {asY = \frac{{W/A}}{{\Delta L/L}}} \right)$

and that in the brass wire is   $\Delta {L_b} = \frac{{{W_b}L}}{{{Y_b}A}}$

But $\Delta {L_s} = \Delta {L_b}$                           $(given)$

$\therefore \frac{{{W_s}L}}{{{Y_s}A}} = \frac{{{W_b}L}}{{{Y_b}A}}\,\,or\,\,\frac{{{W_s}}}{{{W_b}}} = \frac{{{Y_s}}}{{{Y_b}}}$

$As\,\frac{{{Y_s}}}{{{Y_b}}} = 2$                            $(given)$

$\therefore \frac{{{W_s}}}{{{W_b}}} = \frac{2}{1}$

  • $\Delta l \rightarrow  l^2$
  • C
    $ \Delta l \rightarrow  \frac {1}{l^2}$
  • D
    $\Delta l \rightarrow  l$
Answer
Correct option: B.

b
As $V=Al$                                             $.....(i)$

where $A$ is the area of $cross-section$ of the wire.

$Young's\,modulus,\,Y = \frac{{\left( {F/A} \right)}}{{\left( {\Delta l/l} \right)}} = \frac{{Fl}}{{A\Delta l}}$

$\Delta l = \frac{{Fl}}{{YA}} = \frac{{F{l^2}}}{{YV}}$                    $(Using(i))$

$\Delta l \propto {l^2}$

Hence, the graph between $\Delta l$ and ${l^2}$ is a straight line.

    length $= 300\; cm$,diameter $= 3\; mm$
Answer
Correct option: A.

a
Young's modulus,

$Y = \frac{{FL}}{{A\Delta L}} = \frac{{4FL}}{{\pi {D^2}\Delta L}}\,\,or\,\,\Delta L = \frac{{4FL}}{{\pi {D^2}Y}}$

Where $F$ is the force applied, $L$ is the length, $D$ is the diameter and $\Delta L$ is the extension of the wire respectively. 

As each wire is made up of same material therefore their $Young's$ modulus is same for each wire.

Foe all the four wires, $Y,F\,(=tension)$ are the same.

$\therefore \Delta L \propto \frac{L}{{{D^2}}}$

$In\,\,\left( a \right)\,\,\frac{L}{{{D^2}}} = \frac{{200\,cm}}{{{{\left( {0.2\,cm} \right)}^2}}} = 5 \times {10^3}\,c{m^{ - 1}}$

$In\,\,\left( b \right)\,\,\,\frac{L}{{{D^2}}} = \frac{{300\,cm}}{{{{\left( {0.3\,cm} \right)}^2}}} = 3.3 \times {10^3}\,c{m^{ - 1}}$

$In\,\,\left( c \right)\,\,\frac{L}{{{D^2}}} = \frac{{50\,cm}}{{{{\left( {0.05\,cm} \right)}^2}}} = 20 \times {10^3}\,c{m^{ - 1}}$

$In\,\,\left( d \right)\,\,\frac{L}{{{D^2}}} = \frac{{100\,cm}}{{{{\left( {0.1\,cm} \right)}^2}}} = 10 \times {10^3}\,\,c{m^{ - 1}}$

Both wires are same materials so both will have same $Young's$ modulus, and let it

be. $Y.Y = \frac{{stress}}{{strain}} = \frac{F}{{A.\left( {\Delta L/L} \right)}},$

$F = applied\,force$

$A = \,area\,of\,cross - \,section\,of\,wire$

Since load and length are same for both

$ \Rightarrow r_1^2\Delta {L_1} = r_2^2\Delta {L_2},$

$\left( {\frac{{\Delta {L_1}}}{{\Delta {L_2}}}} \right) = {\left( {\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}} \right)^2} = 4\,\Delta {L_1}\,:\,\Delta {L_2} = 4:1$

  • All of these
Answer
Correct option: D.
All of these
d
(d) Elasticity depends on temperature.

Also, elasticity changes due to impurities because they increase binding of crystal grains, hence enhancing elasticity.

Hammering also changes the structure of material as crystal grains break up into smaller units which plays a large role in determining elasticity (increases elasticity).

Also, annealing tends to form a uniform orientation of crystal grains, hence producing larger crystal and changing elasticity.

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
  • $l$
  • B
    $2l$
  • C
    $\frac{l}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{l}{4}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$l$
a
(a) $l = \frac{{FL}}{{AY}} = \frac{{FL}}{{\pi {r^2}Y}}\therefore l \propto \frac{{FL}}{{{r^2}}}$ ($Y =$ constant)

$\frac{{{l_2}}}{{{l_1}}} = \frac{{{F_2}}}{{{F_1}}} \times \frac{{{L_2}}}{{{L_1}}}{\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)^2} = 2 \times 2 \times {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} = 1$

 ${l_2} = {l_1}$ i.e. increment in its length will be $l.$

Two wires $A$ and $B $ of same length and of the same material have the respective radii ${r_1}$ and ${r_2}$. Their one end is fixed with a rigid support, and at the other end equal twisting couple is applied. Then the ratio of the angle of twist at the end of $A$ and the angle of twist at the end of $B $ will be
  • A
    $\frac{{r_1^2}}{{r_2^2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{r_2^2}}{{r_1^2}}$
  • $\frac{{r_2^4}}{{r_1^4}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{r_1^4}}{{r_2^4}}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{{r_2^4}}{{r_1^4}}$
c
(c)Twisting couple $C = \frac{{\pi \eta {r^4}\theta }}{{2l}}$

If material and length of the wires $A$ and $B$ are equal and equal twisting couple are applied then 

$\theta \propto \frac{1}{{{r^4}}}$ $\Rightarrow $ $\frac{{{\theta _1}}}{{{\theta _2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}} \right)^4}$

A structural steel rod has a radius of $10\,mm$ and length of $1.0\,m.$ A $100\,kN$ force stretches it along its length . Young's modulus of structural steel is $2 \times 10^{11}\,Nm^{-2}.$ The percentage strain is about .......  $\%$
  • $0.16$
  • B
    $0.32$
  • C
    $0.08$
  • D
    $0.24$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0.16$
a
$Given:F = 100kN = {10^5}N$

$Y = 2 \times {10^{11}}N{m^{ - 2}}$

${\ell _0} = 1.0m$

$radius\,r = 10mm = {10^{ - 2}}m$

$From\,formula,\,y = \frac{{Stress}}{{Strain}}$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,Strain = \frac{{Stress}}{Y} = \frac{F}{{AY}}$

$ = \frac{{{{10}^5}}}{{\pi {r^2}Y}} = \frac{{{{10}^5}}}{{3.14 \times {{10}^{ - 4}} \times 2 \times {{10}^{11}}}}$

$ = \frac{1}{{628}}$

$Therefor\% strain = \frac{1}{{628}} \times 10 = 0.16\% $

A wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular part (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross section area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slighly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just steps over the wheel.As it cools down to surronding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficint of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$, and its young's modulus is $Y$, the force that one part of wheel applies on the other part is 
  • $2SY\alpha \Delta T$
  • B
    $2\pi SY\Delta T$
  • C
    $SY\alpha \Delta T$
  • D
    $\pi SY\alpha \Delta T$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$2SY\alpha \Delta T$
a
$Y = \frac{{F/S}}{{\Delta L/L}} \Rightarrow \Delta L = \frac{{FL}}{{SY}}$

$\therefore L\alpha \Delta T = \frac{{FL}}{{SY}}$                     $\left[ {\Delta L = L\alpha \Delta T} \right]$

$\therefore F = SY\alpha \Delta T$

$\therefore $ The ring is pressing the wheel from both sides,

$\therefore {F_{net}} = 2F = 2YS\alpha \Delta T$
