Young's moduli of the material of wires \(A\) and \(B\) are in the ratio of \(1: 4\), while its area of cross sections are in the ratio of \(1: 3\). If the same amount of load is applied to both the wires, the amount of elongation produced in the wires \(A\) and \(B\) will be in the ratio of [Assume length of wires \(A\) and \(B\) are same]

  1. A \(36: 1\)
  2. B \(12: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 36\)
  4. D \(1: 12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(12: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta L =\frac{ FL }{ AY }\) \(\frac{\Delta L_{ A }}{\Delta L _{ B }}=\frac{ A _{ B }}{ A _{ A }} \frac{Y_{ B }}{Y_{ A }}=12\)
