One end of a metal wire is fixed to a ceiling and a load of 2 kg hangs from the other end. A similar wire is attached to the bottom of the load and another load of 1 kg hangs from this lower wire. Find the longitudinal strain in both wires. Area of cross section of each wire is `0.005 cm^2` and Young modulus of the metal is `2.0xx10^11 Nm^-2.` Take `g=10ms^-2`

Text Solution

To solve the problem, we will calculate the longitudinal strain in both wires step by step. ### Given Data: - Mass of the first load (m1) = 2 kg - Mass of the second load (m2) = 1 kg - Area of cross-section of each wire (A) = 0.005 cm² = \(0.005 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2\) - Young's modulus of the metal (E) = \(2.0 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2\) - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = \(10 \, \text{m/s}^2\) ...
