1. \(0.4~\text{mm}\)
2. \(40~\text{mm}\)
3. \(8~\text{mm}\)
4. \(4~\text{mm}\)

A wire of length \(L,\) area of cross section \(A\) is hanging from a fixed support. The length of the wire changes to \({L}_1\) when mass \(M\) is suspended from its free end. The expression for Young's modulus is:

1. \(\dfrac{{Mg(L}_1-{L)}}{{AL}}\) 2. \(\dfrac{{MgL}}{{AL}_1}\)
3. \(\dfrac{{MgL}}{{A(L}_1-{L})}\) 4. \(\dfrac{{MgL}_1}{{AL}}\)

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

1. \(9F\) 2. \(6F\)
3. \(4F\) 4. \(F\)

If the ratio of diameters, lengths and Young's modulus of steel and copper wires shown in the figure are \(p,\) \(q\) and \(s\) respectively, then the corresponding ratio of increase in their lengths would be:
                                      
1. \(\dfrac{5 q}{7 {sp}^2} \) 2. \(\dfrac{7 q}{5 sp^2} \)
3. \(\dfrac{2 q}{5 s p} \) 4. \(\dfrac{7 q}{5 s p}\)
