1. \(19.6\times 10^{8}~\text{N/m}^2\)
2. \(19.6\times 10^{-10}~\text{N/m}^2\)
3. \(19.6\times 10^{10}~\text{N/m}^2\)
4. \(19.6\times 10^{-8}~\text{N/m}^2\)
The length of an elastic string is \(a\) metre when the longitudinal tension is \(4\) N and \(b\) metre when the longitudinal tension is \(5\) N. The length of the string in metre when the longitudinal tension is \(9\) N will be:
1. | \(a-b\) | 2. | \(5b-4a\) |
3. | \(2b-\frac{1}{4}a\) | 4. | \(4a-3b\) |
Two wires of copper having the length in the ratio \(4:1\) and their radii ratio as \(1:4\) are stretched by the same force. The ratio of longitudinal strain in the two wires will be:
1. \(1:16\)
2. \(16:1\)
3. \(1:64\)
4. \(64:1\)
The increase in the length of a wire on stretching is \(0.04\)%. If Poisson's ratio for the material of wire is \(0.5,\) then the diameter of the wire will:
1. | \(0.02\)%. | decrease by2. | \(0.01\)%. | decrease by
3. | \(0.04\)%. | decrease by4. | \(0.03\)%. | increase by

The stress-strain curve for two materials \(A\) and \(B\) are as shown in the figure. Select the correct statement:
1. | Material \(A\) is less brittle and less elastic as compared to \(B\). |
2. | Material \(A\) is more ductile and less elastic as compared to \(B\). |
3. | Material \(A\) is less brittle and more elastic than \(B\). |
4. | Material \(B\) is more brittle and more elastic than \(A\). |
The Young's modulus of a wire is numerically equal to the stress at a point when:
1. | The strain produced in the wire is equal to unity. |
2. | The length of the wire gets doubled. |
3. | The length increases by \(100\%.\) |
4. | All of these. |
Aluminium and iron rods of the same length and same diameter are combined together as shown in the figure. A force \(F\) is applied at one of the ends. The combined length is increased by \(2\) cm. The rods will have:
1. | same stress and strain. |
2. | different stress and strain. |
3. | same stress and different strain. |
4. | same strain and different stress. |
