Solution

The correct option is A Searle
Normally, we use Searle's method to measure Young's modulus of some material. Young's modulus is independent of the shape of the material, so we can utilize any shape for its calculation. Searle’s apparatus is used for the measurement of Young’s modulus experimentally. This apparatus consists of two equal length wires that are attached to a rigid support.
