Physics - Elasticity Question with Solution | TestHub

A 2 m long light metal rod AB is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal length, tied to its ends. One wire is of brass and has cross-section of $0.3\times 10^{-4}{\mathrm{m}}^2$ and the other is of steel with $0.1\times 10^{-4}{\mathrm{m}}^2$ cross-section. In order to have equal stresses in the two wires, a weight is hung from the rod. The position of the weight along the rod from end A should be :
