The stress versus strain graphs for wires of two materials $A$ and $B$ are as shown in the figure. If $Y_A$ and $Y_B$ are the Young's modulus of the materials,then

  • A
    $Y_B = 2Y_A$
  • B
    $Y_A = Y_B$
  • C
    $Y_B = 3Y_A$
  • D
    $Y_A = 3Y_B$

$A$ steel wire of length $4.7\; m$ and cross-sectional area $3.0 \times 10^{-5}\; m^{2}$ stretches by the same amount as a copper wire of length $3.5\; m$ and cross-sectional area of $4.0 \times 10^{-5}\; m^{2}$ under a given load. What is the ratio of the Young's modulus of steel to that of copper?

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?
