A light rod of length 2m 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 A1=0.1 cm2 and brass wire of cross-sectional area A2=0.2 cm2. To have equal stress in both wires, T1/T2=?

A vessel of \(1\times 10^{-3}\) m3 volume contains oil. When a pressure of \(1.2 \times10^5\) N/mis applied on it, then volume decreases by \(0.3 \times 10^{-6}\) m3. The bulk modulus of oil is:

1. \(1 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2 \) 2. \(2 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2 \)
3. \(4 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2 \) 4. \(6 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\)

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

A steel ring of radius \(\mathrm{r}\) and cross-section area \(\mathrm{A}\) is fitted onto a wooden disc of radius \(\mathrm{R}(\mathrm{R}>\mathrm{r}).\) If Young's modulus is \(\mathrm{E},\) then the force with which the steel ring is expanded is:

1. \(\mathrm{AE} \frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{r}} \) 2. \(A E \frac{R-r}{r} \)
3. \(\frac{E}{A} \frac{R-r}{A} \) 4. \(\frac{\mathrm{Er}}{\mathrm{AR}}\)
