Two wires and made of different materials of lengths 6.0 cm and 5.4 cm, respectively and area of cross sections and , respectively are stretched by the same magnitude under a given load. The ratio of the Young's modulus of to that of is . The value of is .
Options
- A2
- B1
- C4
- D5
Correct answer
D. 5
Step-by-step solution
Young's modulus: .
When the same force is applied and both wires stretch by the same extension , the ratio of Young's moduli is:
.
Therefore , giving .
