Two wires of equal cross section but one made of steel and the other of copper, are joined end to end. When the combination is kept under tension, the elongations in the two wires are found to be equal. Find the ratio of the lengths of the two wires. Young modulus of steel =2.0xx10^11Nm^-2 and that of copper =1.1xx10^11Nm^-2

A heat flux of 4000 J/s is to be passed through a copper rod of length 10 cm and area of cross-section 100 cm^2 . The thermal conductivity of copper is 400 W/m/ °C. The two ends of this rod must be kept at a temperature difference of

Two rectangular blocks A and B of different metals have same length and same area of cross-section. They are kept in such a way that their cross-sectional area touch each other.
