(a) A steel wire of mass u per unit length with a circular cross section has a radius of 0.1 cm. The wire is of length 10 m when measured lying horizontal and hangs from a hook on the wall. A mass of 25 kg is hung from the free end of the wire. Assuming the wire to be uniform an lateral strains lt lt longitudinal strains find the extension in the length of the wire. The density of steel is 7860 kgm ^(-3) and Young's modulus =2 xx 10 ^(11) Nm ^(-2) (b) If the yield strength of steel is 2.5 xx 10 ^(8) Nm ^(-2), what is the maximum weight that can be hung at the lower end of the wire ?

A rectangular conducting loop consists of two wires on two opposite sides of length 1 joined together by rods of length d. The wires are each of the same material but with cross sections differing by a factor of 2. The thicker wire has a resistance R and the rods are of low resistance, which in turn are connected to a constant voltage source V_(0) . The loop is placed in uniform a magnetic field vecB at 45^(@) to its plane. Find the torque exerted by the magnetic field on the loop about an axis through the centres of rods.

A cylindrical solid of mass 10^(-2) kg and cross-sectional area 10^(-4) m^(2) is moving parallel to its axis (the x-axis ) with a uniform speed of 10^(3) m//s in the positive direction. At t = 0 , its front face passes the plane x = 0 . The region to the right of htis plane is filled with the dust particle of uniform density 10^(-3) kg/m^(3) . When a dust particles collides with the face of the cylinder, it stricks to its surface. Assuming that the dimensions of the cylinder remain parctically unchanged adn that the dust sticks only to the front face of the cylinder find the x-coordinate of the front of th ecylinder at t = 150 s .

A cylindrical vessel of height 500mm has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in it up to height H. Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with height of water column being 200mm. Find the fall in height(in mm) of water level due to opening of the orifice. [Take atmospheric pressure =1.0xx10^5N//m^2 , density of water=1000kg//m^3 and g=10m//s^2 . Neglect any effect of surface tension.]

For the system shown in the figure the cylinder on the left at L has a mass of 600 kg and a cross sectional area of 800cm^(2) the piston on the right at S has cross sectional area 25cm^(2) and negligible weight if the apparatus is filled with oil (rho=0.75gm//cm^(3)) find thhe force F required to hold the system in equilibrium.

A tube of uniform cross-section has two vertical portions connected with a horizontal thin tube 8 cm long at their lower ends.

Find vec(u) and the time after which the stone hits the object . Take g = 10 m//s

A solenoid 60 cm long and of radius 4.0 cm has 3 layers of windings of 300 turns each. A 2.0 cm long wire of mass 2.5 g lies inside the solenoid (near its centre) normal to its axis, both the wire and the axis of the solenoid are in the horizontal plane. The wire is connected through two leads parallel to the axis of the solenoid to an external battery which supplies a current of 6.0 A in the wire. What value of current (with appropriate sense of circulation) in the windings of the solenoid can support the weight of the wire?
