Two wires \(A\) and \(B\) are made of the same material. The wire \(A\) has a length \(L\) and diameter \(r\) while the wire \(B\) has a length \(2L\) and diameter \(r/2.\) If the two wires are stretched by the same force, the elongation in \(A\) divided by the elongation in \(B\) is:

1. \(\dfrac{1}{8}\) 2. \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)
3. \(4\) 4. \(8\)

A wire elongates by \(1.0\) mm when a load \(W\) is hang from it. If this wire goes over a pulley and two weights \(W\) each are hung at the two ends, the elongation of the wire will be:
1. \(0.5\) m
2. \(1.0\) mm
3. \(2.0\) mm
4. \(4.0\) mm

The length of a metal wire is \(l_1\) when the tension in it is \(T_1\) and is \(l_2\) when the tension is \(T_2.\) The natural length of the wire is:

1. \(\dfrac{l_{1}+l_{2}}{2}\) 2. \(\sqrt{l_{1} l_{2}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{l_{1} T_{2}-l_{2} T_{1}}{T_{2}-T_{1}}\) 4. \(\dfrac{l_{1} T_{2}+l_{2} T_{1}}{T_{2}+T_{1}}\)
