Two wires of same length and radius are ...

Two wires of same length and radius are joined in parallel and loaded. The Young.s modulii of the material of the wires are `Y_(1) & Y_(2)`. If the combination is taken as a single wire them its Young.s modulus is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`F = F_1+F_2 rArr (Y(2A)e)/(l) = (Y_1 Ae)/(l) + (Y_2 Ae)/(l)`
`2Y_(eq) = Y_1+Y_2 rArr Y_(eq) = (Y_1+Y_2)/(2)`
