A wire of length 0.5 m and area of cross-section $4 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^2$ at a temperature of $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is suspended vertically by fixing its upper end to the ceiling. The wire is then cooled to $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, but is prevented from contracting by attaching a mass at the lower end. If the mass of the wire is negligible, then the value of the mass attached to the wire is
[Young's modulus of material of the wire $=10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$, coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the wire $=10^{-5} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$ and acceleration due to gravity $=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ ]
A wire is stretched 1 mm by a force $F$. If a second wire of same material, same length and 4 times the diameter of the first wire is stretched by the same force $F$, then the elongation of the second wire is
If the longitudinal strain of a stretched wire is $0.2 \%$ and the Poisson's ratio of the material of the wire is 0.3 , then the volume strain of the wire is
If the pressure on a body is increased from 200 kPa to 250 kPa , the volume of the body decreases by $0.25 \%$. The compressibility of the material of the body is (in $\mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~N}^{-1}$ )
