A rigid bar of mass `M` is supported symmetrically by three wires each of length `l`. Those at each end are of copper and the middle one is of ion. The ratio of their diameters, if each is to have the same tension, is equal to

A

`(Y_("copper"))/(Y_("iron"))`

B

`sqrt((Y_("iron"))/(Y_("copper")))`

C

`(Y_("iron")^(2))/(2Y_("copper")^(2))`

D

`(2)/(3)(Y_("iron"))/(Y_("copper"))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
