A light rod of length 200 cm is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal length tied to its end. One of the wires is made of steel and has area of cross-section 0.1 cm2 and the other of brass of cross-sectional area 0.2 cm2. An object of mass m is hung to the rod. Ysteel =2×Ybrass

At which distance from one end of the rod should a weight be hung to produce equal strains in both the wires?

A steel wire of diameter d=1mm is stretched horizontally between 2 clamps located at distance l=2 m from each other. A weight of mass m=0.25 kg is suspended from midpoint O of the wire. What will the resulting descent of the point O be in cm? (Here, the modulus of elasticity of steel is Esteel=2×1011 N m2)

Two forces F1 and F2 act on a thin uniform elastic rod placed in space. Force F1 acts at right end of the rod and F2 acts exactly at centre of rod as shown (both forces act parallel to length of the rod).

Question Image

(i) F1 causes extension of rod while F2 causes compression.
(ii) F1 and F2 both cause extension of rod.
(iii) F1 causes extension of rod while F2 does not change length of rod. The correct order of True (T) or False (F) statements is
