A steel wire of length 4.7 m and cross-sectional area stretches by the same amount as a copper wire of length 3.5 m and cross- sectional area of under a given load. What is the ratio of the Young’s modulus of steel to that of copper?
Solution:
Here, for steel wire, Area of cross-section, Stretching, (say) Stretching force on steel, For copper wire, length of wire, Area of cross-section, Stretching, (given);Stretching force on copper, Let and be the Young's modulus of steel and copper wire respectively.
and Dividing (i) by (ii), we get
