Two wires one of Steel and other of aluminium each of 2 m long and diameter 20 mm are joined end to end and a composite wire of 4 m is formed. What is the tension in the wire producef on a total extension of 0.9 millimetres?
A copper wire of length 1.0 m and a steel wire of length 0.5 m having equal cross-sectional areas are joined end to end. The composite wire is stretched by a certain load which stretches the copper wire by 1 mm. If the Young's moduli of copper and steel are 1.0×1011 Nm−2 and 2.0×1011 Nm−2, the total extension of the composite wire is
