A light rod of length \(2~\text{m}\) is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal length. A weight \(W\) is hung from the light rod as shown in the figure. The rod is hung by means of a steel wire of cross-sectional area \(A_1 = 0.1~\text{cm}^2\) and brass wire of cross-sectional area\(A_2 = 0.2~\text{cm}^2\).

Copper of fixed volume \(V\) is drawn into a wire of length \(l.\) When this wire is subjected to a constant force \(F,\) the extension produced in the wire is \(\Delta l.\) Which of the following graphs is a straight line?

The stress-strain curves are drawn for two different materials \(X\) and \(Y.\) It is observed that the ultimate strength point and the fracture point are close to each other for material \(X\) but are far apart for material \(Y.\) We can say that the materials \(X\) and \(Y\) are likely to be (respectively):
1. | ductile and brittle |
2. | brittle and ductile |
3. | brittle and plastic |
4. | plastic and ductile |
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 \(A\) 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. \(\frac{W+W_1}{A}\)
2. \(\frac{4W+W_1}{3A}\)
3. \(\frac{3W+W_1}{4A}\)
4. \(\frac{\frac{3}{4}W+W_1}{A}\)
The bulk modulus of water is \(2\times 10^{9}~\text{N/m}^2\). The increase in pressure required to decrease the volume of water sample by \(0.1\%\) is:
1. \(4 \times 10^{6}~\text{N/m}^2\)
2. \(2 \times 10^{6}~\text{N/m}^2\)

4. \(8 \times 10^{6}~\text{N/m}^2\)
To break a wire, a force of \(10^6~\text{N/m}^{2}\) is required. If the density of the material is \(3\times 10^{3}~\text{kg/m}^3,\) then the length of the wire which will break by its own weight will be:
1. \(34\) m
2. \(30\) m
3. \(300\) m
4. \(3\) m
The length of an elastic string is \(a\) metre when the longitudinal tension is \(4\) N and \(b\) metre when the longitudinal tension is \(5\) N. The length of the string in metre when the longitudinal tension is \(9\) N will be:
1. | \(a-b\) | 2. | \(5b-4a\) |
3. | \(2b-\frac{1}{4}a\) | 4. | \(4a-3b\) |
