Two wiresAandBare of the same materials. Their lengths are in the ratio1 :2and diameters are in the ratio2 :1. When stretched by forceFAandFBrespectively, they get an equal increase in their lengths. Then the ratioFAFBshould be

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

ForceF=YA∆ll

Substituting areaA=πd22=πd24

So, we haveF=Yπd2∆l4l

F∝d2∆ll∵Yπ4=constant 

Hence, using equation (i), we have

FA∝dA2∆lAlA...(i)

FB∝dB2∆lBlB...(ii)

Form equations (i) and (ii), we get

∴FAFB=dA2∆lAlA×lBdB2∆lB

As∆lA= ∆lB=∆l

ThereforeFAFB= dA2dB2×lBlA

PuttingdAdB=21

AndlBlA=21

We getFA :FB=8 :1
