Two metal wires $A$ and $B$ have lengths $L$ and $3L$ respectively. The radii of the cross-sectional circular areas of wires $A$ and $B$ are $R$ and $2R$,respectively. These wires are joined end-to-end along their axis. When one end of the combined system is fixed and the other end is pulled with a constant force $F$,the elongation in both wires is equal. If $Y_A$ and $Y_B$ are the Young's moduli of wires $A$ and $B$,respectively,then the ratio $Y_B / Y_A$ is:

  • A
    $3/4$
  • B
    $4/3$
  • C
    $2/3$
  • D
    $3/2$

$A$ block of weight $100 \ N$ is suspended by copper and steel wires of same cross-sectional area $0.5 \ cm^2$ and lengths $\sqrt{3} \ m$ and $1 \ m$,respectively. Their other ends are fixed on a ceiling as shown in the figure. The angles subtended by the copper and steel wires with the ceiling are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$,respectively. If the elongation in the copper wire is $\Delta \ell_C$ and the elongation in the steel wire is $\Delta \ell_S$,then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \ell_C}{\Delta \ell_S}$ is. . . . . .
