Two rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion $\alpha_1, \alpha_2$ and Young's moduli $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If $\alpha_1 : \alpha_2 = 2 : 3$,and the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equal,then the ratio $Y_1 : Y_2$ is equal to:

  • A
    $2:3$
  • B
    $1:1$
  • C
    $3:2$
  • D
    $4:9$

$A$ force $F$ is applied on a wire of radius $r$ and length $L$,and the change in the length of the wire is $l$. If the same force $F$ is applied on a wire of the same material with radius $2r$ and length $2L$,then what is the change in the length of the second wire?

Under the same load,wire $A$ having length $5.0 \, m$ and cross-section $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m^2$ stretches uniformly by the same amount as another wire $B$ of length $6.0 \, m$ and a cross-section of $3.0 \times 10^{-5} \, m^2$ stretches. The ratio of the Young's modulus of wire $A$ to that of wire $B$ will be
