Mechanical Properties Of Solids Question 8
Question 8 - 31 January - Shift 2
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:
(1) $1: 4$
(2) $1: 1$
(3) $1: 10$
(4) $1: 2$
