    Two wires of lengths \[l\] and \[2l,\] radii r and 2r respectively having same Youngs modulus are hung with a weight mg. Net elongation is

    A)  \[\frac{3mgl}{\pi {{r}^{2}}Y}\]                                   

    B)  \[\frac{2mgl}{3\pi {{r}^{2}}Y}\]

    C) \[\frac{3mgl}{2\pi {{r}^{2}}Y}\]  

    D)        \[\frac{3mgl}{4\pi {{r}^{2}}Y}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Youngs modulus,\[Y=\frac{mgl}{{{a}_{1}}{{l}_{1}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{l}_{1}}=\frac{mgl}{Y\pi {{r}^{2}}}\]                                     ... (i) and        \[Y=\frac{mg(2l)}{{{a}_{2}}{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{mg(2l)}{\pi {{(2r)}^{2}}{{l}_{2}}}\] or            \[{{l}_{2}}=\frac{mgl}{2Y\pi {{r}^{2}}}\]                                  ? (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have \[\therefore \]  \[{{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}=\frac{mgl}{Y\pi {{r}^{2}}}+\frac{mgl}{2Y\pi {{r}^{2}}}+\frac{3mgl}{2Y\pi {{r}^{2}}}\]
