If a rod of length very small area of cross section Young’s modulus of elasticity is acted upon by two parallel forces and respectively (as shown) and placed on a smooth horizontal plane. If the elastic limit is not crossed and then to study the change in length of rod and it’s elastic potential energy the rod is segmented into four equal parts where magnitude of change in lengths are and elastic potential energy stored in each segment are respectively as shown then which is/are correct?

A ring of radius made of wire of density is rotated about a stationary vertical axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of the ring as shown in the figure. Determine the angular velocity (in ) of ring at which the ring breaks. The wire breaks at tensile stress Ignore gravity. Take and

The bar shown in the figure is made of a single piece of material. It is fixed at one end. It consists of two segments of equal length each but different cross-sectional area $A$ and Find the ratio of total elongation in the bar to the elongation produced in thicker segment under the action of an axial force Consider the shape of joint to remain circular. (Given: is Young's modulus).
