To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the principles of Young's modulus and the properties of composite materials. ### Step 1: Understand the given data - Diameter of the wire, \( d = 3 \, \text{mm} = 3 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Radius of the wire, \( r = \frac{d}{2} = 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Length of copper wire, \( L_c = 2.2 \, \text{m} \) - Length of steel wire, \( L_s = 1.6 \, \text{m} \) - Total extension, \( \Delta L_{\text{total}} = 0.7 \, \text{mm} = 0.7 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) ...
