The Young's modulus of the material of a wire is \(6\times 10^{12}~\text{N/m}^2\) and there is no transverse strain in it, then its modulus of rigidity will be:

1. \(3\times 10^{12}~\text{N/m}^2\)
2. \(2\times 10^{12}~\text{N/m}^2\)
3. \(10^{12}~\text{N/m}^2\)
4. None of the above

A cube of aluminium of sides \(0.1~\text{m}\) is subjected to a shearing force of \(100\) N. The top face of the cube is displaced through \(0.02\) cm with respect to the bottom face. The shearing strain would be:
1. \(0.02\)                                   
2. \(0.1\)
3. \(0.005\)                               
4. \(0.002\)

The strain-stress curves of three wires of different materials are shown in the figure. \(P\), \(Q\) and \(R\) are the elastic limits of the wires. The figure shows that:
           

1. Elasticity of wire \(P\) is maximum.
2. Elasticity of wire \(Q\) is maximum.
3. Tensile strength of \(R\) is maximum.
4. None of the above is true.

III. The rubber band will get heated if it is stretched and released

 Which of these can be deduced from the graph?

(1)   III only                              

(2)   II and III

(3)   I and III
