Two wires A and B are stretched by the same load. If the area of cross section of wire 'A' is double that of 'B', then the stress on 'B' is
- A Equal to that on \( A \)
- B Twice that on A
- C Half that on A
- D Four times that on A
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Twice that on A
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Stress \(=\frac{F}{A}\). If A is doubled stress will be halved.
