    A 5maluminium wire \[(\gamma =7\times {{10}^{10}}N/{{m}^{2}})\]of diameter 3mm supports a 40 kg mass. In order to have the same elongation in a copper wire \[(\gamma =12\times {{10}^{10}}N/{{m}^{2}})\] of the same length under the same weight, the diameter should be in mm :

    A) 1.75                                       

    B) 2.0

    C) 2:3                                         

    D) 5.0

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The elonfation in wire \[\Delta l=\frac{F.L}{\pi {{r}^{2}}Y}\] elonfation in both the wires is same wires one of same length and under the same weight (load) So           \[\frac{1}{r_{1}^{2}{{Y}_{1}}}=\frac{1}{r_{2}^{2}{{Y}_{2}}}\]                 \[{{\left( \frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{{{Y}_{2}}}{{{Y}_{2}}}\]or \[{{\left( \frac{{{D}_{1}}}{{{D}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\]                 \[={{\left( \frac{3}{{{D}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{12\times {{10}^{10}}}{7\times {{10}^{10}}}\] \[\frac{3}{{{D}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{12}{7}}\Rightarrow 3\sqrt{\frac{7}{12}}\]                                 \[\approx 2.3\,mm\]
