A copper wire of length \(1.0\, m\) and a steel wire of length \(0.5\, m\) having equal cross-sectional areas are joined end to end. The composite wire is stretched by a certain load which stretches the copper wire by \(1\, mm\). If the Young's modulii of copper and steel are respectively \(1.0\times10^{11}\, Nm^{-2}\) and \(2.0\times10^{11}\, Nm^{- 2}\), the total extension of the composite wire is ........ \(mm\)

  1. A \(1.75\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(1.50\)
  4. D \(1.25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({Y_c} \times \left( {\Delta {L_c}/{L_c}} \right) = {Y_s} \times \left( {\Delta {L_s}/{L_s}} \right)\) \( \Rightarrow 1 \times {10^{11}} \times \left( {\frac{{1 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}{1}} \right) = 2 \times {10^{11}} \times \left( {\frac{{\Delta {L_s}}}{{0.5}}} \right)\)…
