A wire of cross-section \(A_{1}\) and length \(l_1\) breaks when it is under tension \(T_{1};\) a second wire made of the same material but of cross-section \(A_{2}\) and length \(l_2\) breaks under tension \(T_{2}.\) A third wire of the same material having cross-section \(A,\) length \(l\) breaks under tension \(\dfrac{T_1+T_2}{2}.\) Then:

1. \(A=\dfrac{A_1+A_2}{2},~l=\dfrac{l_1+l_2}{2}\)
2. \(l=\dfrac{l_1+l_2}{2}\)
3. \(A=\dfrac{A_1+A_2}{2}\)
4. \(A=\dfrac{A_1T_1+A_2T_2}{2(T_1+T_2)},~l=\dfrac{l_1T_1+l_2T_2}{2(T_1+T_2)}\)

Two wires of identical dimensions but of different materials having Young's moduli \(Y_1, Y_2\) are joined end to end. When the first wire is under a tension \(T,\) it elongates by \(x_1\) while the second wire elongates by \(x_2\) under the same tension \(T.\) The elongation of the composite wire when it is under tension \(T\) is:

1. \(x_1+x_2\) 2. \(\dfrac{Y_1x_1+Y_2x_2}{Y_1+Y_2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}\) 4. \(\dfrac{Y_1x_2+Y_2x_1}{Y_1+Y_2}\)

The block, shown in the figure, is suspended as shown from two identical steel wires. The extension in the wires due to the tension is \(\Delta l_1.\) If the block is suspended by one of the wires the extension in it is \(\Delta l_2.\) Then \(\dfrac{\Delta l_1}{\Delta l_2}\) equals:
                
1. \(1\) 2. \(2\)
3. \(\sqrt 2\) 4. \(\dfrac12\)

If two identically shaped rods are joined end to end and compressive forces are applied to the system, the compressive strain will be:
    
 
1. larger in the rod with a larger Young's modulus
2. larger in the rod with a smaller Young's modulus
3. equal in both the rods
4. negative in the rod with a smaller Young's modulus

Two wires, made of the same material, but of lengths \(L,2L\) and the cross-sections \(A,3A\) respectively, are subjected to forces \(F_1\) and \(F_2\) so that they just break. Then:
1. \(F_1=F_2\) 2. \(2F_1=F_2\)
3. \(3F_1=F_2\) 4. \(6F_1=F_2\)

A combination of two wires of identical length (\(L,\) each) and cross-section (\(A,\) each) joined end-to-end behaves elastically as a single wire of Young's modulus \(Y\text:~~~~Y_1,Y_2\) being the module of the individual wires. Then:

1. \(Y=Y_1+Y_2\)
2. \(Y={\Large\frac{Y_1+Y_2}{2}}\)
3. \({\Large\frac{1}{Y}=\frac{1}{Y_1}+\frac{1}{Y_2}}\)
4. \({\Large\frac{2}{Y}=\frac{1}{Y_1}+\frac{1}{Y_2}}\)
