JEE Main 2025 · 8 Apr · Shift 2 · Elastic Moduli

A 3 m long wire of radius 3 mm shows an extension of 0.1 mm when loaded vertically by a mass of 50 kg in an experiment to determine Young's modulus. The value of Young's modulus of the wire as per this experiment is P×1011 Nm−2P \times 10^{11} \, \text{Nm}^{-2}, where the value of PP is: (Take g=3π m/s2g = 3\pi \, \text{m/s}^2)

JEE Main 2025 · 2 Apr · Shift 1 · Elastic Potential Energy

A steel wire of length 2 m and Young's modulus 2.0×1011 N m−22.0 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2} is stretched by a force. If Poisson ratio and transverse strain for the wire are 0.2 and 10−310^{-3} respectively, then the elastic potential energy density of the wire is __________ ×105\times 10^5 (in SI units).
