Eight mercury drops, each of radius $r$, coalesce to form a bigger drop. The surface energy released in this process is $\_\_\_\_$ - ( $S$ is the surface tension of mercury).

The Young's modulus of steel wire of radius $r$ and length $L$ is $Y$.

If the radius $r$ and length $L$ of the wire are doubled then the value of $Y$

Two wires as shown in the figure below, made of steel and have breaking stress of $12 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$. Area of cross-section of upper wire is $0.008 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and of lower wire is $0.004 \mathrm{~cm}^2$. The maximum mass that can be added to pan without breaking any wire is $\_\_\_\_$ kg.

A metal string $A$ is suspended from a rigid support and its free end is attached to a block of mass $M$. Second block having mass 2 M is suspended at the bottom of the first block using a string $B$. The area of cross sections of strings $A$ and $B$ are same. The ratio of lengths of strings of $A$ to B is 2 and the ratio of their Young's moduli $\left(Y_A / Y_B\right)$ is 0.5 . The ratio of elongations in $A$ to $B$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
