Two wires of equal cross-section but one...

Two wires of equal cross-section but one made of steel and the other of copper are joined end to end. When the cobination is kept under tension, the elongations in the two wires are found to be equal elongations in the two wire are found to be equal. What is the ratio of the lengths of the two wires?
(Given, Young's modulus of steel `= 2 xx 10^(11) Nm^(-2)` and young's modulus of copper `= 1.1 xx 10^(11) Nm^(-2)`)

A copper wire and a steel wire of radii in the ratio 1:2, lengths in the ratio 2:1 are stretched by the same force. If the Young's modulus of copper = 1.1 xx 10^11Nm^(-2) find the ratio of their extensions (young's modulus of steel = 2 xx 10^11 N//m^2) .

The radius of a copper wire is twice that of a steel wire. One end of the copper wire is joined with one end of the steel wire and the same tensile force is applied on them . If the length of the copper wire increases by 1% , what will be the percentage increase in the length of the steel wire? Given Young's modulus of steel is twice that of copper.
