Two wires of diameter 0.25 cm, one made of steel and the other made of brass are loaded as shown in fig. The unloaded length of steel wire is 1.5 m and that of brass wire is 1.0m. Compute the elongations of the steel and the brass wires.

Two wires of diameter 0.25 cm , one made of steel and other made of brass, are loaded as shown in the figure. The unloaded length of the steel wire is 1.5 m and that of brass is 1.0 m . Young's modulus of steel is 2.0 xx 10^(11) Pa and that of brass is 1.0 xx 10^(11) Pa. Compute the ratio of elongations of steel and brass wires. (/_\l_("steel"))/(/_\l_("brass"))=?

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

Two wires of equal cross section but one made of steel and the other of copper, are joined end to end. When the combination is kept under tension, the elongations in the two wires are found to be equal. Find the ratio of the lengths of the two wires. Young modulus of steel =2.0xx10^11Nm^-2 and that of copper =1.1xx10^11Nm^-2

A 10 m long steel wire has mass 5 g. If the wire is under a tension of 80 N, the speed of transverse waves on the wire is

A steel wire and copper wire of the same diameter and of length 1m and 2m respectively are connected end to end and a force is applied. The increase in length of the combination is 0.01m.Calculate the elongation produced in the individual wires. Given that Y of copper is 12 xx 10^(10) Nm^(2) and that of steel is 20 xx 10^(10) N m^(-2) .

In figure the upper wire is made of steel and the lower of copper. The wires have equal cross section. Find the ratio of the longitudinal strains developed in the two wires.

A 1m long wire of diameter 0.31mm has a resistance of 4.2 Omega . If it is replaced by another wire of same material of length 1.5m and diameter 0.155 mm , then the resistance of wire is

An iron wire AB of length 3 m at 0^(@)C is stretched between the oppsote walls of a brass casing at 0^(@)C . The diameter of the wire is 0.6mm . What extra tension will be set up in the wire when the temperature of the system is rasied to 40^(@)C ? Given a_("brass")=18xx10^(-6)//k a_("iron")=12xx10^(-6)//K Y_("iron=21xx10^(10)N//m^(2)

The ratio of diameters of two wires of same material is n:1 . The length of each wire is 4 m . On applying the same load, the increases in the length of the thin wire will be (n gt 1)
