The radius of a copper wire is twice that of a steel wire. One end of the copper wire is joined with one end of the steel wire and the same tensile force is applied on them . If the length of the copper wire increases by 1% , what will be the percentage increase in the length of the steel wire? Given Young's modulus of steel is twice that of copper.
