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 unstretched length of the wire is
  • A$\sqrt {{l_1}{l_2}} $
  • B$\frac{{{l_1} + {l_2}}}{2}$
  • C$\frac{{{l_1}{T_2} - {l_2}{T_1}}}{{{T_2} - {T_1}}}$
  • D$\frac{{{l_1}{T_2} + {l_2}{T_1}}}{{{T_2} + {T_1}}}$

    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. . . . . .
