Question 1 :
The compressibility of water is $\displaystyle 46.4\times 10^{-6}/atm $ This means that
Question 2 :
A compressive force is applied to a uniform rod of rectangular cross-section so that its length decreases by $1\%$. If the Poisson’s ratio for the material of the rod be $0.2$, which of the following statements is correct ? The volume approximately .....”
Question 3 :
 A cable that can support a load of 1000 N is cut into equal parts. the maximum load that can be supported by the either part is:-
Question 4 :
The bulk modulus of an ideal gas at constant temperature is :
Question 5 :
The property of a material due to which shape is changed permanently is known as:<br/>
Question 6 :
The Young's modulus of a wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is $Y$. If the length is reduced to $\cfrac{L}{2}$ and radius is $\cfrac{r}{2}$, then the Young's modulus will be
Question 7 :
The elastic energy stored per unit volume in a stretched wire is
Question 9 :
Change in the shape of a body caused by the application of a force (stress) is called as :<br/>
Question 10 :
Assertion: If we apply force to a lump of putty or mud, they have no gross tendency to regain their previous shape.
Reason: This type of substances are called plastic substances.
Question 11 :
There are two wires of same material. their radii and lengths are both in the ratio 1:2. if the extensions produced are equal, what is the ratio of the loads?
Question 13 :
A wire of length L and radius r fixed at one end and a force F applied to the other end produces and extension $l$ . The extension produced in another wire of the same material of length 2Land radius 2r by a force 2 F is:
Question 15 :
The Young's modulus of the material of the wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is $Y{ N }/{ { m }^{ 2 } }$. If the length is reduced to ${ L }/{ 2 }$ and radius ${ r }/{ 2 }$, the Young's modulus will be:
Question 16 :
The property of metals which allows them to be drawn into wires is known as :<br/>

State whether true or false :<br>The metal used in construction of a bridge should have high Young's modulus.<br><br>
Question 18 :
Substances which can be stretched to cause large strains are called
Question 20 :
The property of metals which allows them to be drawn readily into thin wires is:
