To solve the problem of finding the load applied to a copper wire and a steel wire connected end to end, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two wires: a copper wire of length \( L_c = 2.2 \, \text{m} \) and a steel wire of length \( L_s = 1.6 \, \text{m} \). Both wires have a diameter of \( d = 3.0 \, \text{mm} \) (which we will convert to meters). The total elongation when a load is applied is \( \Delta L = 0.70 \, \text{mm} \). ### Step 2: Convert Units Convert the diameter from millimeters to meters: \[ ...
