If a string, suspended from the ceiling, is given a downward force $F_1$, its length becomes $L_1$. Its length becomes $L_2$ if the downward force is $F_2$. What is its actual length?

  • A
    $\frac{L_1+L_2}{2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{L_1 L_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{F_2 L_1+F_1 L_2}{F_2+F_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{F_2 L_1-F_1 L_2}{F_2-F_1}$
