A uniform cylindrical rod of length L and radius r, is made from a material whose Young’s modulus of Elasticity equals Y. When this rod is heated by temperature T and simultaneously subjected to a net longitudinal compressional force F, its length remains unchanged. The coefficient of volume expansion, of the material of the rod, is (nearly) equal to :

Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial speed of 1.0 ms^–1 . The cross-sectional area of the tap is 10^–4 m². Assume that the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water and that the flow is streamlined. The cross-sectional area of the stream, 0.15 m below the tap would be : (Take g = 10 ms^–2)

A submarine experiences a pressure of 5.05 × 10⁶ Pa at a depth of d₁ in a sea. When it goes further to a depth of d₂, it experiences a pressure of 8.08 × 10⁶ Pa. Then d₂ –d₁ is approximately (density of water = 10³ kg/m³ and acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms^–2 ) :

In an experiment, brass and steel wires of length 1 m each with areas of cross section 1mm² are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support and other end is subjected to elongation. The stress required to produce a net elongation of 0.2 mm is, [Given, the Young's Modulus for steel and brass are, respectively, 120 × 10⁹ N/m² and 60 × 10⁹ N/m²]
