Two blocks, one with a mass of \(2~\text{kg}\) and the other with a mass of \(1.14~\text{kg},\) are suspended by steel and brass wires, respectively, as shown in the figure. Given Young's moduli for steel and brass as \(2\times10^{11}~\text{N}/\text{m}^2\) and \(1\times10^{11}~\text{N}/\text{m}^2\) respectively, what is the change in the length for the steel wire?
1. \(3.2 ~\mu \text{m}\) 2. \(1.6 ~\mu \text{m}\)
3. \(0.8 ~\mu \text{m}\) 4. \(4.8 ~\mu \text{m}\)

Which of the following expressions correctly relates Poisson’s ratio \(\sigma,\) bulk modulus \(B,\) and modulus of rigidity \(G\)?

1. \(\mathit{\sigma}{=}\dfrac{{3}{B}{-}{2}{G}}{{2}{G}{+}{6}{B}}\)

2. \(\mathit{\sigma}{=}\dfrac{{6}{B}{+}{2}{G}}{{3}{B}{-}{2}{G}}\)

3. \(\mathit{\sigma}{=}\dfrac{9BG}{{3}{B}{+}{G}}\)

4. \({B}{=}\dfrac{{3}\mathit{\sigma}{-}{3}{G}}{{6}\mathit{\sigma}{+}{2}{G}}\)

A uniform rod of mass \(10~\text{kg}\) and length \(6~\text m\) is suspended vertically from the ceiling, as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of the rod is \(3~\text{mm}^2,\) and its Young’s modulus is \(2\times10^{11}~\text{N/m}^2.\) The extension in the length of the rod is: (take \(g=10~\text{m/s}^2\))
   
1. \(1~\text{mm}\)
2. \(0.5~\text{mm}\)
3. \(0.25~\text{mm}\)
4. \(1.2~\text{mm}\)
