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

A metal wire of length L1 and area of cross section A is attached to a rigid support. Another metal wire of length L2 and of the same cross-sectional area is attached to free end of the first wire. A body of mass M is then suspended from the free end of the second wire. If Y1 and Y2 are the Young's moduli of the wires respectively, the effective force constant of the system of two wires is
