Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$,how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?

  • A
    $9F$
  • B
    $6F$
  • C
    $F$
  • D
    $4F$
