Mechanical Properties of Solid

1. A wire elongates by 𝑙 units, when a load 𝑤 is suspended from it. If the wire gets over a
pulley (equally on both the sides) and two weights 𝑤 each are hung at the two ends, the
elongation of wire (in units) will be
a. Zero b. 𝑙/2 c. 𝑙 d. 2𝑙

2. Maximum stress that can be applied to a wire which supports on elevator is . Mass of
elevator is 𝑚 and it is moved upwards with an acceleration of 𝑔/2. Minimum diameter
of wire (Neglecting weight of wire) must be
2𝑚𝑔 3𝑚𝑔 5𝑚𝑔 6𝑚𝑔
a. √ b. √ 2 c. √ 2 d. √
 

3. A bob of mass 10 kg is attached to a wire 03 m long. Its breaking stress is 48 × 107 N/m2.
The area of cross-section of the wire is10−6 m2. What is the maximum angular velocity
with which it can be rotated in a horizontal circle?
a. 8 rad/s c. 2 rad/s
b. 4 rad/s d. 1 rad/s

4. A uniform steel rod of cross-sectional area A and length L is suspended so that it hangs
vertically. The stress at the middle point of the rod is

5. Two wires A and B of same length are made of same material. The figure represents the
load F versus extension Dx graph for the two wires. Then
a. The cross sectional area of A is greater than that of B
