A ball of mass $3$ kg moving with a velocity of $4 \:m/s$ undergoes a perfectly-elastic direct-central impact with a stationary ball of mass $m$. After the impact is over, the kinetic energy of the $3$ kg ball is $6$ J. The possible value(s) of $m$ is/are $1$ kg only $6$ kg only $1$ kg, $6$ kg $1$ kg, $9$ kg
A horizontal bar, fixed at one end $(x=0)$, has a length of $1$ m, and cross-sectional area of $100 mm^{2}$. Its elastic modulus varies along its length as given by $E(x)=100 e^{-x}$ GPa, where $x$ is the length coordinate (in m) along the axis of the bar. An axial tensile load of $10$ kN is applied at the free end $(x=1)$. The axial displacement of the free end is _________ mm
A point mass of $100$ kg is dropped onto a massless elastic bar (cross-sectional area $= 100 mm^{2}$, length $= 1$ m, Young's modulus$=100$ GPa) from a height $H$ of $10$ mm as shown (Figure is not to scale). If $g= 10 m/s^{2}$, the maximum compression of the elastic bar is _______ mm
The Poisson's ratio for a perfectly incompressible linear elastic material is $1$ $0.5$ $0$ Infinity
