$A$ steel wire and a copper wire are joined end to end having equal cross-sections. The elongation of the two wires is found to be equal under tension. What is the ratio of the length of the steel wire to the length of the copper wire? (Young's modulus of steel $= 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$ and Young's modulus of copper $= 1.1 \times 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$)

$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force $F$,the increase in its length is $l$. If another wire of same material but of length $2L$ and radius $2r$ is stretched with a force of $2F$,the increase in its length will be

The length of a light string is $1.4 \ m$ when the tension on it is $5 \ N$. If the tension increases to $7 \ N$,the length of the string is $1.56 \ m$. The original length of the string is . . . . . . $m$.

$A$ 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. . . . . .
