Important Questions on Hooke’s law
The bulk modulus of a liquid is . The pressure required to reduce the volume of liquid by is :

A solid object having uniform density and varying cross-sectional area (which is circular) is placed on smooth horizontal surface as shown. Then the value of if the stress throughout its height remains same and having value equal to .

A tapered rod of non uniform cross-sectional area is fitted between two rigid supports. The rod is heated at the middle, then choose the incorrect options.

A stone of mass is attached to one end of a long aluminum wire of diameter and suspended vertically. The stone is now rotated in a horizontal plane at a rate such that wire makes an angle of with the vertical. If , and , the increase in length of wire is

The Poisson's ratio of the material of a wire whose volume remains constant under an external normal stress is _____

If an ideal spring is stretehed by a force as shown then its length is observed to be If the value of is instead of then which of the following cannot be it’s length is second case?

A rod of length and coefficient of linear expansion per degree is placed symmetrically between fixed walls separated by . Young's modulus of the rod is . If the temperature is increased by then the stress developed in the rod is (in )

A copper wire and a steel wire of the same diameter and length are connected end to end and a force is applied. The force stretches their combined length by The two wires will have

The quality of the material which opposes the change in shape, volume, or length is called


A copper and a steel wire of same diameter are connected end to end. A deforming force is applied to this composite wire which causes a total elongation of . The two wires will have:

A typical stress-strain curve for a wire of a metal wire is shown below:
If the point D and E are very close, the material is:

The elastic behaviour of a body can be turned into plastic behaviour under the larger deforming force.

What do you understand by the plastic deformation of a body?

Permanent set refers to plastic strain in a material beyond _____ limit.


Permanent set in a material is produced by subjecting it to

Draw stressstrain curve for a metal and explain permanent set.


More we increase the temperature, more is the thermal expansion of solids.
