If the ratio of lengths, radii and Young's modulus of steel and...

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

Options

  1. Ab2a2c\frac{b^2 a}{2 c}
  2. Bbc2a2\frac{b c}{2 a^2}
  3. Cba22c\frac{b a^2}{2 c}
  4. Da2b2c\frac{a}{2 b^2 c}

Correct answer

A. b2a2c\frac{b^2 a}{2 c}

Step-by-step solution

Free body diagram of the two blocks are If the ratio of lengths, radii and Young's modulus of steel and brass wires shown in the figure are a, b and c
Given, l1l2=a,r1r2=b,Y1Y2=c\quad \frac{l_1}{l_2}=a, \frac{r_1}{r_2}=b, \frac{Y_1}{Y_2}=c Let Young's modulus of steel is Y1Y_1 and of brass is Y2Y_2.If the ratio of lengths, radii and Young's modulus of steel and brass wires shown in the figure are a, b and c
If the ratio of lengths, radii and Young's modulus of steel and brass wires shown in the figure are a, b and c
Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get Y1Y2=F1⋅l1A1⋅Δl1F2⋅l2A2⋅Δl2\frac{Y_1}{Y_2}=\frac{\frac{F_1 \cdot l_1}{A_1 \cdot \Delta l_1}}{\frac{F_2 \cdot l_2}{A_2 \cdot \Delta l_2}}If the ratio of lengths, radii and Young's modulus of steel and brass wires shown in the figure are a, b and c
Force on steel wire from free body diagram T=F1=(2g) newton T=F_1=(2 g) \text { newton } Force on brass wire from free body diagram F2=T′=T+2g=(4g) newton F_2=T^{\prime}=T+2 g=(4 g) \text { newton } Now, putting the value of F1,F2F_1, F_2, in Eq. (iii), we get Y1Y2=(2g4g)⋅(πr22πr12)⋅[l1l2]⋅(Δl2Δl1)or\frac{Y_1}{Y_2}=\left(\frac{2 g}{4 g}\right) \cdot\left(\frac{\pi r_2^2}{\pi r_1^2}\right) \cdot \left[\frac{l_1}{l_2}\right] \cdot\left(\frac{\Delta l_2}{\Delta l_1}\right) or\quad c=12(1b2)\cdota(Δl2Δl1)orc=\frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{1}{b^2}\right) \cdota \left(\frac{\Delta l_2}{\Delta l_1}\right) or\quad Δl1Δl2=\frac{\Delta l_1}{\Delta l_2}=\left(\frac{a}{2 b² c}\right)
