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)`]

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 and strain in both the wires is [Young's modulus of steel is 2xx10^(11) Nm^(2) and for brass is 1xx10^(11) Nm^(-2) ]

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.

A light rod of length 2 m is suspended from 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 0.1 cm sq. and the other of brass of cross-section 0.2 cm sq. Along the rod at what distance a weight may be hung to produce equal stresses in the wires? (Y_("Steel") = 2 xx 10^(11) Nm^(-2), Y_("Bass") = 1 xx 10^(11) Nm^(-2))
