A \(5\) m long wire is fixed to the ceiling. A weight of \(10\) kg is hung at the lower end and is \(1\) m above the floor. The wire was elongated by \(1\) mm. The energy stored in the wire due to stretching is:
1. zero

3. \(100\) J
4. \(500\) J
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 |
The increase in the length of a wire on stretching is \(0.04\)%. If Poisson's ratio for the material of wire is \(0.5,\) then the diameter of the wire will:

3. | \(0.04\)%. | decrease by4. | \(0.03\)%. | increase by
The Poisson's ratio of a material is \(0.4.\) If a force is applied to a wire of this material, there is a decrease in the cross-section area by \(2\)%. In such a case the percentage increase in its length will be:
1. | \(3\)% | 2. | \(2.5\)% |
3. | \(1\)% | 4. | \(0.5\)% |
A steel wire of length \(4.7\) m and cross-sectional area \(3.0 \times 10^{-5}\) m2 is stretched by the same amount as a copper wire of length \(3.5\) m and cross-sectional area of \(4.0 \times 10^{-5}\) m2 under a given load. The ratio of Young’s modulus of steel to that of copper is:
1. | \(1.79:1\) | 2. | \(1:1.79\) |
3. | \(1:1\) | 4. | \(1.97:1\) |
The figure shows the strain-stress curve for a given material. What is Young’s modulus for this material?

1. | greater than material \(B\) |

Two wires of diameter \(0.25\) cm, one made of steel and the other made of brass are loaded, as shown in the figure. The unloaded length of the steel wire is \(1.5\) m and that of the brass wire is \(1.0\) m. The elongation of the steel wire will be:
