The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the definition of Young's modulus and the relationship between stress, strain, and the dimensions of the wires. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Young's Modulus**: Young's modulus (Y) is defined as the ratio of stress to strain. Mathematically, it is given by: \[ Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L} \] where \( F \) is the applied force, \( A \) is the cross-sectional area, \( \Delta L \) is the change in length, and \( L \) is the original length. 2. **Write the Expression for Each Wire**: For the brass wire: \[ Y_B = \frac{F}{\pi R_B^2} \cdot \frac{L}{\Delta L} \] For the steel wire: \[ Y_S = \frac{F}{\pi R_S^2} \cdot \frac{L}{\Delta L} \] 3. **Set Up the Ratio of Young's Modulus**: Since both wires are subjected to the same force and have the same original length and change in length, we can set up the ratio: \[ \frac{Y_B}{Y_S} = \frac{R_S^2}{R_B^2} \] 4. **Substitute the Values of Young's Modulus**: Given: - \( Y_B = 10 \times 10^{10} \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - \( Y_S = 2 \times 10^{10} \, \text{N/m}^2 \) Substitute these values into the ratio: \[ \frac{10 \times 10^{10}}{2 \times 10^{10}} = \frac{R_S^2}{R_B^2} \] 5. **Simplify the Ratio**: Simplifying the left side: \[ \frac{10}{2} = 5 \implies \frac{R_S^2}{R_B^2} = 5 \] 6. **Find the Relationship Between Radii**: Taking the square root of both sides gives: \[ \frac{R_S}{R_B} = \sqrt{5} \] Therefore, we can express \( R_S \) in terms of \( R_B \): \[ R_S = R_B \cdot \sqrt{5} \] ### Final Answer: The relationship between the radii of the brass and steel wires is: \[ R_S = R_B \cdot \sqrt{5} \]
