Steel and copper wires of the same length and area are stretched by the same weight one after the other. Young's modulus of steel and copper are \(2\times10^{11} ~\text{N/m}^2\) and  \(1.2\times10^{11}~\text{N/m}^2.\) The ratio of increase in length is: 

1. \(2 \over 5\) 2. \(3 \over 5\)
3. \(5 \over 4\) 4. \(5 \over 2\)

A steel ring of radius \(r\) and cross-section area \(A\) is fitted onto a wooden disc of radius \(R(R>r).\) If Young's modulus is \({E},\) then the force with which the steel ring is expanded is:
1. \({AE} \frac{R}{r} \) 2. \(A E \left(\frac{R-r}{r}\right)\)
3. \(\frac{E}{A}\left(\frac{R-r}{A}\right)\) 4. \(\frac{Er}{AR}\)

If the ratio of lengths, radii, and Young's modulus of steel and brass wires in the figure are \(a,\) \(b\) and \(c\) respectively, then the corresponding ratio of increase in their lengths will be:

                                    
1. \(\dfrac{2 a^{2} c}{b}\)

2. \(\dfrac{3 a}{2 b^{2} c}\)

3. \(\dfrac{2 a c}{b^{2}}\)

4. \(\dfrac{3 c}{2 a b^{2}}\)

The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and of the same area of cross-section, one of steel and another of brass are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level, then the weight added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of:
1. \(1:2\) 2. \(2:1\)
3. \(4:1\) 4. \(1:1\)
