Two wires of different materials have same length $L$ and same diameter $d$. The second wire is connected at the end of the first wire and forms one single wire of double the length. This wire is subjected to a stretching force $F$ to produce an elongation $\ell$. The two wires have:

  • A
    same stress and same strain
  • B
    different stress but same strain
  • C
    different stress and different strain
  • D
    same stress but different strain

$A$ copper wire of length $1.0\, m$ and a steel wire of length $0.5\, m$ having equal cross-sectional areas are joined end to end. The composite wire is stretched by a certain load which stretches the copper wire by $1\, mm$. If the Young's moduli of copper and steel are respectively $1.0 \times 10^{11}\, N/m^2$ and $2.0 \times 10^{11}\, N/m^2$,the total extension of the composite wire is ........ $mm$.

$A$ $5\, m$ long aluminium wire $(Y = 7 \times 10^{10}\, N/m^2)$ of diameter $3\, mm$ supports a $40\, kg$ mass. In order to have the same elongation in a copper wire $(Y = 12 \times 10^{10}\, N/m^2)$ of the same length under the same weight,the diameter should now be,in $mm$.
