The breaking stress in two wires of different materials \(A,B\) are in the ratio:  \(\dfrac{S_A}{S_B}=\dfrac12,\) while their radii are in the ratio:  \(\dfrac{r_A}{r_B}=\dfrac12.\) The tensions under which they break are \(T_A\) and \(T_B.\) Then \(\dfrac{T_A}{T_B}=\)?
1. \(2\)
2. \(\dfrac14\)
3. \(\dfrac18\)
4. \(\dfrac1{2\sqrt2}\)

A uniform rod of mass \(m,\) having cross-section \(A\) is pushed along its length \((L)\) by means of a force of magnitude, \(F.\) There is no friction anywhere. Ignore the weight of the rod. The longitudinal stress in the rod, at a distance \(L \over 3\) from the left end, is:
         
1. tensile, \(F \over 3A\)
2. compressive, \(F \over 3A\)
3. tensile, \(2F \over 3A\)
4. compressive, \(2F \over 3A\)

A heavy mass is attached to a thin wire and is whirled in a vertical circle. The wire is most likely to break:

1. when the mass is at the highest point
2. when the mass is at the lowest point
3. when the wire is horizontal
4. at an angle of \(\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{3})\) from the upward vertical

A mild steel wire of length \(2L\) and cross-sectional area \(A\) is stretched, well within the elastic limit, horizontally between two pillars (figure). A mass \(m\) is suspended from the mid-point of the wire. Strain in the wire is:

    

1. \( \dfrac{x^2}{2 L^2} \) 2. \(\dfrac{x}{\mathrm{~L}} \)
3. \(\dfrac{x^2}{L}\) 4. \(\dfrac{x^2}{2L}\)

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
