List of top Physics Questions on Stress and Strain asked in AP EAPCET

Two copper wires of length $L$ and $2L$ have radii $r$ and $2r$ respectively. If they are subjected to the same tension force, the ratio of their extension ($\Delta L_1 / \Delta L_2$) is:

A horizontal metal rod of diameter 4 cm projects 6 cm from a wall. The shear modulus of the metal is \(3 \times 10^{10}\, N\,m^{-2}\). An object of mass 1100 kg is suspended from the free end of the rod. The free end of the rod moves down by a distance. (Take \(g = 10\,m\,s^{-2}\), neglect mass of rod)

A piece of metal having a square cross section of area 400 mm\(^2\) is pulled with 40 kN force, producing only elastic deformation. If the Young's modulus of the metal is \(40 \times 10^9~\text{N/m}^2\), then the strain is:

A light rod of length 100 cm is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal lengths tied to the ends of the rod. One of the wires is made of steel and is of area of cross- section $ 0.1\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}. $ The other wire is of brass and of area of cross-section $ 0.2\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}. $ The position from the steel wire along the rod at which a load is to be placed to produce equal stresses in both wires is ( $ {{Y}_{steel}}=20\times {{10}^{11}} $ dyne $ c{{m}^{-2}};\text{ }({{Y}_{brass}}=10\times {{10}^{11}}dyne\text{ }c{{m}^{-2}}) $
