Question:medium
A steel wire of length L at 40^∘C is suspended from the ceiling and a mass m is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled from 40^∘C to 30^∘C to regain its original length L. The coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 10⁻5/^∘C. Young’s modulus of steel is 10¹1N/m² and radius of the wire is 1mm. Assume diameter of the wire. Then the value of m in kg is nearly

- Two wires \(A\) and \(B\) made of different materials have lengths \(6.0\) cm and \(5.4\) cm, and areas of cross-sections \(3.0\times10^{-5}\,\text{m}^2\) and \(4.5\times10^{-5}\,\text{m}^2\), respectively. They are stretched by the same magnitude under the same load. If the ratio of Young’s modulus of \(A\) to that of \(B\) is \(x:3\), find the value of \(x\).
