Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. However wire $1$ has crosssectional area $A$ and wire $2$ has cross-section area $3A$. If the length of wire $1$ increases by $\Delta x$ on applying force $F$, how much force is needed to stretch wire $2$ by the same amount?
  • A$F$
  • B$4\,F$
  • C$6\,F$
  • D$9\,F$

    A force is applied to a steel wire ' $A$ ', rigidly clamped at one end. As a result elongation in the wire is $0.2\,mm$. If same force is applied to another steel wire ' $B$ ' of double the length and a diameter $2.4$ times that of the wire ' $A$ ', the elongation in the wire ' $B$ ' will be $............\times 10^{-2}\,mm$ (wires having uniform circular cross sections)
