Question:medium

Two wires A and B made of same material and areas of cross-section in the ratio $1:2$ are stretched by same force. If the masses of the wires A and B are in the ratio $2:3$, then the ratio of the elongations of the wires A and B is

Show Hint

When length is not explicitly given but mass is, substitute $L = \text{Mass}/(\text{Density} \times \text{Area})$. This modifies the dependency on Area from $A^{-1}$ to $A^{-2}$.
