Two wires of the same length and radius are joined end-to-end and loaded. The Young's moduli of the materials of the two wires are $Y_{1}$ and $Y_{2}$. If the combination behaves as a single wire,then its equivalent Young's modulus is:

$A$ meter scale of mass $m$,Young's modulus $Y$,and cross-sectional area $A$ is hung vertically from the ceiling at the zero mark. The separation between the $30\ cm$ and $70\ cm$ marks will be: (Assume $\frac{mg}{AY}$ is dimensionless)

The ratio of the areas of cross-sections of three wires is $1:2:3$ and the ratio of the Young's moduli of their materials is $3:2:1$. If the three wires are of the same length and the same stretching force is applied to the three wires, then the ratio of the elongations of the three wires is

$A$ steel wire of $1 \, m$ long and $1 \, mm^2$ cross-sectional area is hung from a rigid support. When a weight of $1 \, kg$ is hung from it,the change in length will be given by ..... $mm$ $(Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2, g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

The ratio of the lengths of two wires of the same material is $1:2$ and the ratio of their radii is $1:\sqrt{2}$. If they are stretched by the same force,what is the ratio of the increase in their lengths?
