Two wires each of radius and negligible mass, one made of steel and the other made of brass are loaded as shown in the figure. The elongation of the steel wire is ______. [Young's modulus for steel and ]

Two wires each of radius and negligible mass, one made of steel and the other made of brass are loaded as shown in the figure. The elongation of the steel wire is ______. [Young's modulus for steel and ]

Correct answer: 20
Solution
The force acting on steel wire is
From the relation of Young's modulus, it can be written
Hence, the correct answer is 20.
