The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and of the 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

The ratios of length areas of cross-section and Young's modulii of steel of that of brass wires shown in the figure are a,b and c respectively . The ratio of increase in the lengths of brass of that of steel wires is [Assume that the masses of steel and brass wires are negligible]

The length of a brass wire is 1m. The strain produced by a load is 0.001. The change in its length is

A 14.5 kg mass, fastened to the end of a steel wire of unstretched 1.0 m, is whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity of 2 rev/s at the bottom of the circle. The cross- sectional area of the wire is 0.065" cm"^(2) . Calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path.

Two wires of same radius and length are subjected to the same load. One wire is of steel and the other is of copper. It the Young's modulus of steel is twice that of copper, the ratio of elastic energy stored per unit volume in steel to that of copper wire is
