उत्तर
\[\frac{∆ \text{l}}{\text{ l }}\]
\[\text{ C . S . A . = A }\]
\[\text{ Length = l}\]
\[\text{ Volume of the wire V = Al }\]
\[\text{ Assuming no lateral strain when longitudinal strain occurs: }\]
\[\text{ Increase in volume: ∆ V = A ∆ l }\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{∆ V}{V} = \frac{A ∆ \text{ l }}{\text{ Al }} = \frac{∆ \text{ l }}{\text{ l }}\]
\[\text{ So,} \frac{∆ V}{V} \text{ is directly proportional to } \frac{∆ \text{l}}{\text{ l }}\] .

A rigid bar of mass 15 kg is supported symmetrically by three wires each 2.0 m long. Those at each end are of copper and the middle one is of iron. Determine the ratio of their diameters if each is to have the same tension.
When a block a mass M is suspended by a long wire of length L, the elastic potential potential energy stored in the wire is `1/2` × stress × strain × volume. Show that it is equal to `1/2` Mgl, where l is the extension. The loss in gravitational potential energy of the mass earth system is Mgl. Where does the remaining `1/2` Mgl energy go ?
When the skeleton of an elephant and the skeleton of a mouse are prepared in the same size, the bones of the elephant are shown thicker than those of the mouse. Explain why the bones of an elephant are thicker than proportionate. The bones are expected to withstand the stress due to the weight of the animal.
