In steel, the Young's modulus and the strain at the breaking point are $2\times {10}^{11}N{m}^{-2}$ and 0.15 respectively. The stress at the breaking point for steel is therefore -

1. $1.33\times {10}^{11}N{m}^{-2}$           

2. $1.33\times {10}^{12}N{m}^{-2}$

3. $7.5\times {10}^{-13}N{m}^{-2}$           

4. $3\times {10}^{10}N{m}^{-2}$

A wire of diameter 1mm  breaks under a tension of 1000 N. Another wire, of the same material as that of the first one, but of diameter 2 mm, breaks under a tension of:

1. 500 N                               

2. 1000 N

3. 10000 N                           

4. 4000 N

There is no change in the volume of a wire due to change in its length on stretching. The Poisson's ratio of the material of the wire is

2.  – 0.50

3.  0.25                                  

4.  – 0.25

The force required to stretch a steel wire of cross-section $1 {\mathrm{cm}}^2$ to 1.1 times its length would be $\left(Y=2\times {10}^{11} N{m}^{-2}\right)$
