Overall changes in volume and radius of a uniform cylindrical steel wire are \(0.2\%\) and \(0.002\%\) respectively when subjected to some suitable force. Longitudinal tensile stress acting on the wire is: \(\left(2.0\times 10^{11}~\text{Nm}^{-2}\right)\)
1. \(3.2\times 10^{11}~\text{Nm}^{-2}\)
2. \(3.2\times 10^{7}~\text{Nm}^{-2}\)
3. \(3.6\times 10^{9}~\text{Nm}^{-2}\)
4. \(3.9\times 10^{8}~\text{Nm}^{-2}\)
A 1000 kg lift is tied with metallic wires of maximum safe stress of 1.4 108 N m-2. If the maximum acceleration of the lift is 1.2 m s-2, then the minimum diameter of the wire is:
1. 1 m
2. 0.1 m
3. 0.01 m
4. 0.001 m
A wire can sustain a weight of 10 kg before breaking. If the wire is cut into two equal parts, then each part can sustain a weight of:
1. | 2.5 kg | 2. | 5 kg |
3. | 10 kg | 4. | 15 kg |
Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has a cross-sectional area \(A\) and the second wire has a cross-sectional area \(3A\). If the length of the first wire is increased by \(\Delta l\) on applying a force \(F\), how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?
1. | \(9F\) | 2. | \(6F\) |
3. | \(4F\) | 4. | \(F\) |
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 the 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 the water sample by \(0.1\%\) is:
1. \(4 \times 10^{6}~\text{N/m}^2\)
2. \(2 \times 10^{6}~\text{N/m}^2\)
3. \(2 \times 10^{8}~\text{N/m}^2\)
4. \(8 \times 10^{6}~\text{N/m}^2\)
1. | Breaking stress does not depend on the area of cross-section. |
2. | \(B_{\text {solid }}>{B}_{\text {gas }}>{B}_{\text {liquid }}\) where \(B\) is the bulk modulus. |
3. | Breaking load does not depend on the area of cross-section. |
4. | Young's modulus always decreases on decreasing the temperature. |
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. \(34~\text m\)
2. \(30~\text m\)
3. \(300~\text m\)
4. \(3~\text m\)
The length of elastic string, obeying Hooke's law is \(l_1\) metres when the tension is \(4~\text{N}\), and \(l_2\) metres when the tension is \(5~\text{N}\). The length in metres when the tension is \(0~\text{N}\) will be:
1. \(5l_1-4l_2\)
2. \(5l_2-4l_1\)
3. \(9l_1-8l_2\)
4. \(9l_2-8l_1\)
