A \(5~\text{m}\) long wire is fixed to the ceiling. A weight of \(10~\text{kg}\) is hung at the lower end and is \(1~\text{m}\) above the floor. The wire was elongated by \(1~\text{mm}.\) The energy stored in the wire due to stretching is:
1. zero
2. \(0.05~\text J\)
3. \(100~\text J\)
4. \(500~\text J\)
If the force constant of a wire is \(K\), the work done in increasing the length of the wire by \(l\) is:
1. \(\frac{Kl}{2}\)
2. \(Kl\)
3. \(\frac{Kl^2}{2}\)
4. \(Kl^2\)
The ratio of Young's modulus of the material of two wires is 2 : 3. If the same stress is applied on both, then the ratio of elastic energy per unit volume will be-
1. 3 : 2
2. 2 : 3
3. 3 : 4
4. 4 : 3
The stress versus strain graphs for wires of two materials A and B are as shown in the figure. If and are the Young ‘s modulii of the materials, then

If the potential energy of a spring is V on stretching it by 2 cm, then its potential energy when it is stretched by 10 cm will be
1. V/25
2. 5V
3. V/5
4. 25V
The diagram shows stress v/s strain curve for the materials A and B. From the curves we infer that
1. A is brittle but B is ductile
2. A is ductile and B is brittle
3. Both A and B are ductile
4. Both A and B are brittle
The adjacent graph shows the extension of a wire of length 1m suspended from the top of a roof at one end with a load W connected to the other end. If the cross sectional area of the wire is calculate the young’s modulus of the material of the wire

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. |
One end of a uniform wire of length \(L\) and of weight \(W\) is attached rigidly to a point in the roof and a weight \(W_1\) is suspended from its lower end. If \(S\) is the area of cross-section of the wire, the stress in the wire at a height \(\frac{3L}{4}\) from its lower end is:
1. \(\frac{W_1}{S}\)
2. \(\frac{W_1+\left(\frac{W}{4}\right)}{S}\)
3. \(\frac{W_1+\left(\frac{3W}{4}\right)}{S}\)
4. \(\frac{W_1+W}{S}\)
Shearing stress causes a change in-
1. Length
2. Breadth
3. Shape
4. Volume
