A rod of length l and negligible mass is suspended at its two ends by two wires of steel (wire A) and aluminium (wire B) of equal lengths (figure). The cross-sectional areas of wires A and B are 1.0 mm2 and 2.0 mm2 respectively. (YAl=70×109 N/m2 and Ysteel=200×109 N/m2)



 

a. Mass m should be suspended close to wire A to have equal stresses in both wires.
b. Mass m should be suspended close to B to have equal stresses in both wires.
c. Mass m should be suspended in the middle of the wires to have equal stresses in both wires.
d. Mass m should be suspended close to wire A to have equal strain in both wires.

The correct statements are:

1. (b, c)

2. (a, d)
