A light rod AC of length 2.00 m is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires 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)`. The position of point D from end A along the rod at which a weight may be hung to produce equal stress in both the wires is [Young's modulus of steel is `2xx10^(11) Nm^(2)` and for brass is `1xx10^(11) Nm^(-2)`]
