The bulk modulus of water is \(2\times 10^{9}~\text{N/m}^2\)${\mathrm{}}^{}$. The increase in pressure required to decrease the volume of water sample by \(0.1\%\) is:

One end of a uniform wire of length \(L\) and of weight \(W\) is attached rigidly to a point in the roof and a weight \(W_1\) is suspended from its lower end. If \(A\) is the area of cross-section of the wire, the stress in the wire at a height \(\frac{3L}{4}\) from its lower end is:
1. \(\frac{W+W_1}{A}\)
2. \(\frac{4W+W_1}{3A}\)
3. \(\frac{3W+W_1}{4A}\)
4. \(\frac{\frac{3}{4}W+W_1}{A}\)

To break a wire, a force of \(10^6~\text{N/m}^{2}\) is required. If the density of the material is \(3\times 10^{3}~\text{kg/m}^3,\) then the length of the wire which will break by its own weight will be:
1. \(34\) m
2. \(30\) m
3. \(300\) m
4. \(3\) m

The length of elastic string, obeying Hooke's law is \(l_1\) metres when the tension is \(4~\text{N}\), and \(l_2\) metres when the tension is \(5~\text{N}\). The length in metres when the tension is \(0~\text{N}\) will be:
1. \(5l_1-4l_2\)
2. \(5l_2-4l_1\)
3. \(9l_1-8l_2\)
4. \(9l_2-8l_1\)

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?

Copper of fixed volume \(V\) is drawn into a wire of length \(l.\) When this wire is subjected to a constant force \(F,\) the extension produced in the wire is \(\Delta l.\) Which of the following graphs is a straight line?

2. \(\Delta l ~\text{vs}~l^2\)
3. \(\Delta l ~\text{vs}~\frac{1}{l^2}\)
4. \(\Delta l ~\text{vs}~l\)

Overall changes in volume and radius of a uniform cylindrical steel wire are \(0.2\%\) and \(0.002\%\) respectively when subjected to some suitable force. Longitudinal tensile stress acting on the wire is: \(\left(2.0\times 10^{11}~\text{Nm}^{-2}\right)\)

A 1000 kg lift is tied with metallic wires of maximum safe stress of 1.4 $\times$ 10⁸ N m^-2. If the maximum acceleration of the lift is 1.2 m s^-2, then the minimum diameter of the wire is:

A wire can sustain a weight of 10 kg before breaking. If the wire is cut into two equal parts, then each part can sustain a weight of:

A uniform cylinder rod of length \(L\), cross-sectional area \(A\) and Young's modulus \(Y\) is acted upon by the forces, as shown in the figure. The elongation of the rod is:
