The breaking stress of a wire depends upon:
1. | material of the wire. |
2. | length of the wire. |
3. | radius of the wire. |
4. | shape of the cross-section. |
A force \(F\) is needed to break a copper wire having radius \(R.\) The force needed to break a copper wire of radius \(2R\) will be:
1. | \(F/2\) | 2. | \(2F\) |
3. | \(4F\) | 4. | \(F/4\) |
Which one of the following quantities does not have the unit of force per unit area?
1. Stress
2. Strain
3. Young's modulus of elasticity
4. Pressure
A wire of diameter 1mm breaks under a tension of 1000 N. Another wire, of the same material as that of the first one, but of diameter 2 mm, breaks under a tension of:
1. 500 N
2. 1000 N
3. 10000 N
4. 4000 N
The isothermal elasticity of a gas is equal to
1. Density
2. Volume
3. Pressure
4. Specific heat
