(N/A) The equation for the bending of a beam (or rod) is given by the relation: $M = \frac{Y I_g}{R}$,where $M$ is the bending moment,$Y$ is Young's modulus of the material,$I_g$ is the geometrical moment of inertia of the cross-section about the neutral axis,and $R$ is the radius of curvature of the neutral axis.
The bending moment $M$ is defined as the product of force and distance,so its $SI$ unit is $N \cdot m$ (Newton-meter).
The dimensional formula for the bending moment is $[M^1 L^2 T^{-2}]$.

One end of a steel wire of radius $r$ is fixed to a ceiling and a load of $3 \ kg$ is attached to the free end of the wire. Another wire made of copper of radius $2r$ is attached to the bottom of the $3 \ kg$ load and a $2 \ kg$ load is attached to the free end of the copper wire. The ratio of longitudinal strains produced in copper and steel wires is (Young modulus of steel $= 20 \times 10^{10} \ Nm^{-2}$,Young modulus of copper $= 12 \times 10^{10} \ Nm^{-2}$)
