As we go from the equator of the earth to pole of the earth, the value of acceleration due to gravity

Two wires $$A$$ and $$B$$ are stretched by the same load. The radius of wire $$A$$ is double the radius of wire $$B$$. The stress on the wire $$B$$ as compared to the stress on the wire $$A$$ is

When tension $$T$$ is applied to a sonometer wire of length $$I$$, it vibrates with the fundamental frequency $$n$$. Keeping the experimental setup same, when the tension is increased by 8 N, the fundamental frequency becomes three times the earlier fundamental frequency $$n$$. The initial tension applied to the wire (in newton) was

At absolute zero temperature, pure silicon behaves as
