  • A
    $1.33 \, mm$
  • B
    $1.33 \, cm$
  • C
    $2.66 \, mm$
  • D

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$,how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?

Two wires $A$ and $B$ made of different materials of length $6.0 \ cm$ and $5.4 \ cm$, respectively, and area of cross-sections $3.0 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2$ and $4.5 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2$, respectively, are stretched by the same magnitude under a given load. The ratio of the Young's modulus of $A$ to that of $B$ is $x : 3$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . . . . . .
