Under the same load, wire $A$ having length $5.0\,m$ and cross section $2.5 \times 10^{-5}\,m ^2$ stretches uniformly by the same amount as another wire $B$ of length $6.0\,m$ and a cross section of $3.0 \times 10^{-5}\,m ^2$ stretches. The ratio of the Young's modulus of wire $A$ to that of wire $B$ will be

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$, how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?

A block of weight $100 N$ is suspended by copper and steel wires of same cross sectional area $0.5 cm ^2$ and, length $\sqrt{3} m$ and $1 m$, respectively. Their other ends are fixed on a ceiling as shown in figure. The angles subtended by copper and steel wires with ceiling are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$, respectively. If elongation in copper wire is $\left(\Delta \ell_{ C }\right)$ and elongation in steel wire is $\left(\Delta \ell_{ s }\right)$, then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \ell_{ C }}{\Delta \ell_{ S }}$ is. . . . . .

[Young's modulus for copper and steel are $1 \times 10^{11} N / m ^2$ and $2 \times 10^{11} N / m ^2$ respectively]
