A block of weight $100 N$ is suspended by copper and steel wires of same cross sectional area $0.5 cm ^2$ and, length $\sqrt{3} m$ and $1 m$, respectively. Their other ends are fixed on a ceiling as shown in figure. The angles subtended by copper and steel wires with ceiling are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$, respectively. If elongation in copper wire is $\left(\Delta \ell_{ C }\right)$ and elongation in steel wire is $\left(\Delta \ell_{ s }\right)$, then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \ell_{ C }}{\Delta \ell_{ S }}$ is. . . . . .

[Young's modulus for copper and steel are $1 \times 10^{11} N / m ^2$ and $2 \times 10^{11} N / m ^2$ respectively]
