Consider the situation shown in the figure. The force $F$ is equal to $m_2g/2$. If the area of cross-section of the string is $A$ and its Young's modulus is $Y$,find the strain developed in it. The string is light and there is no friction anywhere.

  • A
    $\frac{m_2g(2m_1 + m_2)}{AY(m_1 + m_2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{m_2g(m_1 + m_2)}{2AY(m_1 + m_2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{m_2g(2m_1 + m_2)}{2AY(m_1 + m_2)}$
  • D
    None of these
