If the ratio of lengths, radii and Young's modulus of steel and brass wires shown in the figure are and respectively, the ratio between the increase in lengths of brass and steel wires would be


Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Free body diagram of the two blocks are

Given, Let Young's modulus of steel is and of brass is .

Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get
Force on steel wire from free body diagram Force on brass wire from free body diagram Now, putting the value of , in Eq. (iii), we get \quad \quad \left(\frac{a}{2 b² c}\right)
