b) Rubber
c) Steel
d) Quartz
Explanation: Quartz
2. If the temperature increases, the modulus of elasticity
a) Decreases
b) Increases
c) Remains constant
d) Becomes zero
Explanation: Because due to increase in temperature intermolecular forces decreases.

b) \[Y=\frac{9Y K}{Y+ 3K}\]
c) \[Y=\frac{9\eta K}{3+ K}\]
d) \[Y=\frac{3\eta K}{9\eta+ K}\]
Explanation:
5. The diameter of a brass rod is 4 mm and Young's modulus of brass is \[9\times10^{10}N\diagup m^{2}\] . The force
required to stretch by 0.1% of its length is
a) \[360\pi N\]
b) 36 N
c) \[144\pi \times10^{3} N\]
d) \[36\pi \times10^{5} N\]
Explanation:
6.If x longitudinal strain is produced in a wire of Young's modulus y, then energy stored in the

its length will be
a) l
b) 2l
c) \[\frac{l}{2}\]
d) None of the above
Explanation:
8. The Young's modulus of a rubber string 8 cm long and density \[1.5 kg\diagup m^{3} \] is \[5\times10^{8} N\diagup m^{2} \] , is
suspended on the ceiling in a room. The increase in length due to its own weight will be
a) \[9.6\times10^{-5} m\]
b) \[9.6\times10^{-11} m\]
c) \[9.6\times10^{-3} m\]
d) 9.6 m
Explanation:
9. A and B are two wires. The radius of A is twice that of B. They are stretched by the some load.
Then the stress on B is
a) Equal to that on A
b) Four times that on A
c) Two times that on A
d) Half that on A
Explanation:
10. If the length of a wire is reduced to half, then it
can hold the ......... load
a) Half
b) Same
c) Double
d) One fourth
Explanation: Breaking force \[\propto\] Area of cross section of wire i.e. load hold by the wire does not depend upon the length of the wire.
