Two forces and act on a thin uniform elastic rod placed in space. Force acts at right end of the rod and acts exactly at centre of rod as shown (both forces act parallel to length of the rod).
(i) causes extension of rod while causes compression.
(ii) and both cause extension of rod.
(iii) causes extension of rod while does not change length of rod. The correct order of True (T) or False (F) statements is

A body of mass is suspended from one end of a wire of length : The radius of the wire is changing uniformly from at one end to at the other end. Find the change in the length of the wire.

Calculate the force needed to punch a diameter hole in a steel plate thick. The ultimate shear strength of steel is .

A metal wire of length and area of cross section A is attached to a rigid support. Another metal wire of length and of the same cross-sectional area is attached to free end of the first wire. A body of mass is then suspended from the free end of the second wire. If and are the Young's moduli of the wires respectively, the effective force constant of the system of two wires is
