The ratio of the areas of cross sections of three wires in 1:2:3 and the ratio of the Young's modulii of their materials is \(3: 2: 1\). If the three wires are of same length and same stretching force is applied to the three wires, then the ratio of the elongations of the three wires is

  1. A \(4: 3: 4\)
  2. B \(1: 1: 1\)
  3. C \(9: 4: 1\)
  4. D \(3: 4: 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4: 3: 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Hookes law, \(\mathrm{Y}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{A}}}{\frac{\Delta \mathrm{l}}{\mathrm{l}_0}}\) or \(\frac{\mathrm{Fl}_0}{\mathrm{AY}}=\Delta \mathrm{l}\) \(\mathrm{F}\) and \(\mathrm{l}_0\) same for three wires \(\therefore \Delta 1 \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{AY}}\)…
