depression at the centre is proportional to
[a] Y 2 [b]Y [c] 1/Y [d] 1/Y2
3. When a certain weight is suspended from a long uniform wire ,its length increases by 1 cm. If the same
weight is suspended from another wire of the same material and length but having a diameter half of the
first one then the increase in length will be

2. What is elastic limit
3. Steel is more elastic than rubber. Why?
4. A cable is cut to half of its original length .What will be the maximum load that it can support?
[stress = load/area. Ans. same]
5. What is dimensional formula of shear modulus?
6. What is poisson’s ratio?
7. Write the expression to find the energy stored in terms of stress and strain.
LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS [revision questions]
1. Derive the expression for [i] Young’s modulus [ii] bulk modulus [iii] rigidity modulus.
2. Explain the stress – strain curve for a metal wire, when it is subjected to an external force within the
elastic limit.
3. A rubber cube of side 10cm has one side fixed, while a tangential force equal to 5000 dyne is applied
to the opposite face. Find the shearing strain produced and the distance through which the strained
side moves [rigidity modulus G = 2 x 107 dynes/cm2 ]
Ans. X = ө x 10 = 2.5x10-5 cm ; Young’s modulus ‘Y’ = linear stress/ linear strain= FL/Al
4. The length of a wire increases 8mm when a weight of 5kg is hung. If the conditions are the same, but
the radius of the wire is doubled, what will be the increase in its length? [g = 10m/s2 ] [Ans: 2 x 10-3
m]
5. When a wire is stretched by a certain force, its elongation is ‘x’. If the second wire of the same
material has four times the length and double the radius of the first wire and is stretched by the same
force as before, find its elongation?
Y = (𝐹𝐿) / (𝜋𝑟2𝑃) or 𝑃1 = 𝑃 [Ans: same]
6. Two pieces of wires A and B of the same material have their lengths in the ratio 1:2 and diameters are
in the ratio 2:1.If they are stretched by same force, what will be the ratio of their elongation ?
Ans: Y = (𝐹𝐿1) / (𝜋𝑟12𝑃1) ---[a] And Y = (𝐹𝐿2 )/ (𝜋𝑟22𝑃2)---[b] [1:8]
7. A piece of copper wire has twice the radius of a piece of steel wire. One end of the copper wire is
joined to one end of the steel wire so that both can be subjected to the same longitudinal force. Find
the percentage increase in the steel wire, when the length of the copper wire has increased by 1% [ ‘Y’
for steel is twice that of copper]
