Two identical wires of iron and copper w...

Two identical wires of iron and copper with their Young's modulus in the ratio `3:1` are suspended at same level. They are to be loaded so as to have the same extension and hence level. Ratio of the weight is

A

`1:3`

B

`2:1`

C

`3:1`

D

`4:1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`Yprop` weight applied
`:. (Y_(1))/(Y_(2))=(W_(1))/(W_(2))implies(W_(1))/(W_(2))=3/1`
