In an experiment, brass and steel wires of length 1 m each with areas of cross section 1mm2 are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support and other end is subjected to elongation. The stress required to produce a net elongation of 0.2 mm is, [Given, the Young's Modulus for steel and brass are, respectively, 120 × 109 N/m2 and 60 × 109 N/m2]

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 8.0 × 106 N/m2
  • B 1.2 × 106 N/m2
  • C 0.2 × 106 N/m2
  • D 1.8 × 106 N/m2

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Corresponding to the stress (σ)

Total elongation ΔInet=σL1Y1+σL2Y2

σ=ΔI(Y1Y2Y1+Y2)

=0.2×10−3×(120×60180)×109

=8×106Nm2
