A light rod of length 4.0 m is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wire of equal length tied to its ends. One of the wires is made of steel and is of cross-section `10^(-3)m^(2)` and the other is of brass of cross-section `2xx10^(-3)m^(2)`. Find out the position along the rod at which a weight may be hung to produce equal stresses in both wires.
