Two similar wires under the same load yield elongation of `0.1 mm` and `0.05 mm` respectively. If the area of cross-section of the first wire is `4 mm^(2)`, then the area of cross-section of the second wire is

A

`6 mm^(2)`

B

`8 mm^(2)`

C

`10 mm^(2)`

D

`12 mm^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c) Modulus of rigidity is defined for solids only. Hence, for liquid it is zero.
