Alight rod of length 2 m is suspended ...

Alight rod of length 2 m is suspended horizontlly from the ceiling bty means of two vertical wirs of equal length tied to its ends One wire is mode of steel and is of cross - section 0.1 sq cm and the other is of brass of cross -section 0.2 sq cm Find the postion along the rod at which a wight may be hung to produce (i) equal stress in both wirs (ii) equal strain in both wires (Y for brass `=10xx10^(10) Nm^(-2) and Y "for steel" =20xx10^(10) Nm^(-2)`)
