A man grows into a giant such that his linear dimensions increase by a factor of \(9.\) Assuming that his density remains the same, the stress in the leg will change by a factor of:
1. \(9\)
2. \(\dfrac{1}{9}\)
3. \(81\)
4. \(\dfrac{1}{81}\)
1. | \(5.2\times10^{6}~\text{N/m}^{2}\) | 2. | \(6.2\times10^{6}~\text{N/m}^{2}\) |
3. | \(4.8\times10^{6}~\text{N/m}^{2}\) | 4. | \(3.1\times10^{6}~\text{N/m}^{2}\) |
In an experiment, brass and steel wires of length \(1~\text{m}\) each with areas of cross section \(1~\text{mm}^2\) are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support and other end is subjected to elongation. The stress required to produce a net elongation of \(0.2~\text{mm}\) is, [Given, the Young's Modulus for steel and brass are, respectively, \(120 \times 10^9 ~\text{N/m}^2\) and \(60 \times 10^9 ~\text{N/m}^2\)]
1. \( 4.0 \times 10^6 ~\text{N/m}^2\)
2. \( 1.2 \times 10^6~\text{N/m}^2\)
3. \( 1.8 \times 10^6~\text{N/m}^2\)
4. \(8 \times 10^6~\text{N/m}^2\)
The elastic limit of brass is 400 MPa. What should be the minimum diameter of a brass rod if it is to support a 400\(\pi \) N load without exceeding its elastic limit?
1. 1 mm
2. 1.5 mm
3. 2 mm
4. 2.5 mm
A uniform metallic wire is elongated by \(0.04\) m when subjected to a linear force \(F\). The elongation, if its length and diameter are doubled and subjected to the same force will be:
1. | \(1\) cm | 2. | \(2 \) cm |
3. | \(3\) cm | 4. | \(6\) cm |
