The length of a metal wire is `l_1` when the tensionin it is `T_1 and is l_2` when the tension is `T_2`. The natural length of the wire is

A

`(l_2+l_2)/2`

B

`sqrt(l_1l_2)`

C

`(l_1T_2-l_2T_1)/(T_2-T_1)`

D

`(l_1T_2+l_2T_1)/(T_2+T_1)`

The length of metallic wire is l. The tensin in the wire is T_(1) for length l_(1) and tension in the wire is T_(2) for length l_(2). Find the original length.

(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 ?

Masses of 3 wires of same metal are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 and their lengths are in the ratio 3 : 2 : 1. The electrical resistances are in ratio

A steel wire has a length of 12.0 m and a mass of 2.10 kg. What should be the tension in the wire is so that speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air is 343 ms ^(-1).

Figure shows a wire of length 2L and crosssectional area A, stretched horizontally between two clamps. When an object of mass M is suspended from the mid point of the wire, the downward displacement of the young's modulus of the material of the wire is x. Shown that M = (YA x ^(3))/(gL ^(3)) (where theta is small)

The ends of a stretched wire of length L are fixed at x = 0 and x = L . In one experiment, the displacement of the wire is y_(1) = A sin(pi//L) sin omegat and energy is E_(1) and in another experiment its displacement is y_(2) = A sin (2pix//L ) sin 2omegat and energy is E_(2) . Then

Two wires A and B are of the same material their lengths are in the ratio 1 : 2 and the diameter are in the ratio 2 : 1. If they are pulled by the same force, their increase in length will be in the ratio ........

A wire of length L and radius r is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force f its length increases by l. Another wire of the same material of length 2L and radius 2r is pulled by a force 2f. Then find the increase in length of this wire.

One end of a horizontal thick copper wire of length 2L and radius 2R is welded to an end fo another horizontal thin copper wire of lenth L and radius R. When the arrangement is stretched by applying forces at two ends, the ratio of the elongation in the thin wire to that in the thick wire is
