If the ratio of length,radii,and Young's modulus of steel and aluminium wire are $a, b, c$ respectively,then the corresponding ratio of increase in their length would be:

  • A
    $\frac{5a}{3b^2c}$
  • B
    $\frac{3a}{5b^2c}$
  • C
    $\frac{2a}{3b^2c}$
  • D
    $\frac{3a}{2b^2c}$

$A$ steel and a brass wire, each of length $50 \,cm$ and cross-sectional area $0.005 \,cm^{2}$, hang from a ceiling and are $15 \,cm$ apart. Lower ends of the wires are attached to a light horizontal bar. $A$ suitable downward load is applied to the bar so that each of the wires extends in length by $0.1 \,cm$. At what distance from the steel wire must the load be applied (in $\,cm$)? [Young's modulus of steel is $2 \times 10^{12} \,dynes/cm^{2}$ and that of brass is $1 \times 10^{12} \,dynes/cm^{2}$]

The length of a metallic wire is $l$. The tension in the wire is $T_1$ for length $l_1$ and the tension in the wire is $T_2$ for length $l_2$. Find the original length $l$.
