The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the increase in length of both the aluminum and steel wires when a load is applied to the composite wire. We will use the Young's modulus and the relationship between the elongations of the two wires. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem:** We have two wires (aluminum and steel) of the same length and cross-section joined end to end. The total elongation of the composite wire is given as \(2.7 \, \text{mm}\). 2. **Identify Young's Modulus Values:** - Young's modulus for aluminum, \(Y_{Al} = 2 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2\) - Young's modulus for steel, \(Y_{Steel} = 7 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2\) 3. **Use the Relationship Between Elongations:** The relationship between the elongations of the two wires can be expressed as: \[ \frac{\Delta L_{Al}}{\Delta L_{Steel}} = \frac{Y_{Steel}}{Y_{Al}} \] This means that the elongation in aluminum is to the elongation in steel as the Young's modulus of steel is to that of aluminum. 4. **Substitute the Values:** \[ \frac{\Delta L_{Al}}{\Delta L_{Steel}} = \frac{7 \times 10^{11}}{2 \times 10^{11}} = \frac{7}{2} \] Let \(\Delta L_{Steel} = x\). Then, \(\Delta L_{Al} = \frac{7}{2} x\). 5. **Set Up the Total Elongation Equation:** The total elongation of the composite wire is the sum of the elongations of both wires: \[ \Delta L_{Al} + \Delta L_{Steel} = 2.7 \, \text{mm} \] Substituting the elongations: \[ \frac{7}{2} x + x = 2.7 \] 6. **Combine Like Terms:** \[ \frac{7x + 2x}{2} = 2.7 \] \[ \frac{9x}{2} = 2.7 \] 7. **Solve for \(x\):** Multiply both sides by 2: \[ 9x = 5.4 \] \[ x = \frac{5.4}{9} = 0.6 \, \text{mm} \] Thus, \(\Delta L_{Steel} = 0.6 \, \text{mm}\). 8. **Find \(\Delta L_{Al}\):** Now substitute back to find \(\Delta L_{Al}\): \[ \Delta L_{Al} = 2.7 - \Delta L_{Steel} = 2.7 - 0.6 = 2.1 \, \text{mm} \] ### Final Results: - Increase in length of aluminum wire, \(\Delta L_{Al} = 2.1 \, \text{mm}\) - Increase in length of steel wire, \(\Delta L_{Steel} = 0.6 \, \text{mm}\)

To solve the problem, we need to find the increase in length of both the aluminum and steel wires when a load is applied to the composite wire.
