Question:medium
Two wires A and B are of same materials. Their lengths are in the ratio 1:2 and diameters are in the ratio 2:1. When stretched by forces \(F_A\) and \(F_B\) respectively, they get equal increase in their lengths. Then the ratio \(F_A : F_B\) should be

Top Questions on Elasticity
- Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
Assertion (A) : The property of body, by virtue of which it tends to regain its original shape when the external force is removed, is Elasticity.
Reason (R) : The restoring force depends upon the bonded inter atomic and inter molecular force of solid.

- A wire of cross-sectional area $A$, modulus of elasticity $2 \times 10^{11} \, \text{Nm}^{-2}$, and length $2 \, \text{m}$ is stretched between two vertical rigid supports.
When a mass of $2 \, \text{kg}$ is suspended at the middle, it sags lower from its original position making angle $\theta = \frac{1}{100}$ radian on the points of support.
The value of $A$ is ____ $\times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2$ (consider $x \ll l$).
