When a force is applied along the length of the wire

A composite wire is prepared by joining a tungsten wire and steel wire Both the wires are of the same length and same area of cross section. If this composite wire is suspended to a rigid support and a force is applied to its free end, it gets extended by 3.25 mm. Calculate the increase in length of tungsten wire and steel wire separately.

The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and of the same area of cross section, one of steel and another of brass are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level, then the weight added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of

A light rod of length 200 cm is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal length tied on its end. One of the wires is made of steel and has area of cross-section 0.1 cm^2 and the order of brass of cross-sectional area 0.2 cm^2. An object of mass m is hung to the rod. (Y_"steel"=2xxY_"brass") At which distance from one end of the rod should a weight be hung to produce equal strains in both the wires?
