A light rod of length 2m is suspended horizontally by means of 2 vertical wires of equal lengths tied to its ends. One of the wire is made of steel & is of cross section `A_(1) = 0.1 cm^(2)` & other of brass & is of cross section `A_(2) = 0.2 cm^(2)`, find out the position along the rod at which a weight must be suspended to produce (i) equal stresses in both wires, (ii) equal strains in both wires for steel, `y = 20 xx 10^(10)Nm^(-2)` & for brass `y = 10 xx 10^(10) Nm^(-2)`.
