The length of a metal wire is $l_1$ when the tension in it is $T_1$,and it is $l_2$ when the tension is $T_2$. The unstretched length of the wire is

  • A
    $\sqrt{l_1 l_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{l_1 + l_2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{l_1 T_2 - l_2 T_1}{T_2 - T_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{l_1 T_2 + l_2 T_1}{T_2 + T_1}$
