4. nothing can be stated

The modulus of elasticity of a material does not depend upon:

1. shape

2. temperature

3. nature of material

4. impurities mixed

What is the effect of temperature on the value of Young's modulus of elasticity for various substances, in general?

1. It increases with increase in temperature

2. Remains constant.

3. Decreases with rise in temperature

The maximum load a wire can withstand without breaking, when its length is reduced to half of its original length, will:

1. be double

2. be half

3. be four times

4. remain same

The stress-strain graphs for two materials are: (assume same scale).

1. Material (ii) is more elastic than material (i) and hence, material (ii) is more brittle.

2. Material (i) and (ii) have the same elasticity and the same brittleness.

3. Material (i) is elastic over a larger region of strain as compared to (ii).

4. Material (ii) is more brittle than material (i).

A wire is suspended from the ceiling and stretched under the action of a weight F suspended from its other end. The force exerted by the ceiling on it is equal and opposite to the weight. Which of the following options is correct?

2. Tensile stress at any cross section is zero.

3. Tensile stress at any cross section A of the wire is 2F/A.

4. Tension at any cross section A of the wire is 2F.
