Two wires of diameter
0.25 cm, one made of steel and other made of brass, are loaded as shown in the figure. The unloaded length of the steel wire is
1.5 m and that of brass is
1.0 m. Young's modulus of steel is
2.0×1011Pa and that of brass is
1.0×1011Pa. If the ratio of elongations of steel and brass wires
ΔlsteelΔlbrass=x4, find
x.
