A light rod of length 2m is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal length. A weight W is hung from the light rod as shown in the figure. The rod is hung by means of a steel wire of cross-sectional area A1=0.1 cm2 and brass wire of cross-sectional area A2=0.2 cm2. To have equal stress in both wires, T1/T2=?

1. 1/3 2. 1/4
