Question:medium
A load of mass $M\, kg$ is suspended from a steel wire of length $2\, m$ and radius $1.0\, mm$ in Searle's apparatus experiment. The increase in length produced in the wire is $4.0\, mm$. Now the load is fully immersed in a liquid of relative density $2$. The relative density of the material of load is $8$. The new value of increase in length of the steel wire is :

- A fluid of density \( 800 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) is flowing through a pipe of varying cross-sectional area. The velocity of the fluid at point A is \( 2 \, \text{m/s} \), and the velocity at point B is \( 4 \, \text{m/s} \). If the cross-sectional area at point A is \( 1 \, \text{m}^2 \), find the cross-sectional area at point B.

- A fluid flows through a pipe with a varying cross-sectional area. If the velocity of the fluid is \( v_1 = 4 \, \text{m/s} \) at a point where the cross-sectional area is \( A_1 = 2 \, \text{m}^2 \), and the velocity at another point where the cross-sectional area is \( A_2 = 1 \, \text{m}^2 \) is \( v_2 \), what is the velocity \( v_2 \)?
