(b) Hookes law establishes the relationship between stress and strain

Stress$:$ The force per unit area

Strain$:$ The elongation or contraction per unit length (dimensionless)

The ratio of stress to strain is known as the elastic modulus of the material

Elastic Modulus $=\frac{\text {stress}}{\text {strain}}$ Hence, the modulus of elasticity is dimensionally equivalent to the stress

    A brass rod of length $2\,m$ and cross-sectional area $2.0\,cm^2$ is attached end to end to a steel rod of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $1.0\,cm^2$ . The compound rod is subjected to equal and opposite pulls of magnitude $5 \times 10^4\,N$ at its ends. If the elongations of the two rods are equal, then length of the steel rod $(L)$ is ........... $m$ $(Y_{Brass}=1.0\times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$ and $Y_{Steel} = 2.0 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$
