Question - 1

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area A and the second wire has cross-sectional area 3A. If the length of the first wire is increased by Δlon applying a force F, how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?

  • A 9 F
  • B 6 F
  • C 4 F
  • D F

Question - 2

The bulk modulus of a spherical object is 'B'. If it is subjected to uniform pressure 'p', the fractional decrease in radius is :

  • A B/3p
  • B 3p/B
  • C p/3B
  • D p/B

Question - 3

The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and same area of cross section, one of steel and another of brass, are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level, then the weights added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of:

  • A 4:1
  • B 1:1
  • C 1 :2
  • D 2:1

doubled, then the extension in its length will be : 

  • A 7.6 cm
  • B 7.6 cm
  • C 1.2 cm
  • D 0.6 cm

Question - 9

A force of 6 x 106 Nm-2 is required for breaking a material. The density p of the material is 3 x 103 kg m-3. If the wire is to break under its own weight, the length of the wire made of that material should be (Taking g = 10 ms-2)

  • A 20 m

Question - 10

The Young's modulus of brass and steel are respectively 1.0 x 1011 Nm-2 and 2.0 x 1011 Nm-2. A brass wire and a steel wire of the same length are extended by 1 mm each under the same force. If radii of brass and steel wires are RB and Rs respectively, then:

  • A \({ R }_{ S }=\sqrt { 2R_{ B } } \)
