Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a light string passing over a pulley as shown in the figure. If the cross-sectional area of the string is $S$,its length is $L$,and its Young's modulus is $Y$,what is the elongation in the string?

  • A
    $\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}gL}}{{YS({m_1} + {m_2})}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{2{m_1}{m_2}gL}}{{YS({m_1} + {m_2})}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{({m_1} - {m_2})gL}}{{YS({m_1} + {m_2})}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{4{m_1}{m_2}gL}}{{YS({m_1} + {m_2})}}$
