One end of a horizontal thick copper wire of length $2L$ and radius $2R$ is welded to an end of another horizontal thin copper wire of length $L$ and radius $R$. When the arrangement is stretched by applying forces at two ends,the ratio of the elongation in the thin wire to that in the thick wire is:

  • A
    $0.25$
  • B
    $0.50$
  • C
    $2.00$
  • D
    $4.00$

$A$ wire of length $2 \ m$ and cross-sectional area $10^{-2} \ cm^2$ is fixed at one end. $A$ force of $200 \ N$ is applied at the other end. The coefficient of linear expansion of the wire is $1.1 \times 10^{-5} \ ^oC^{-1}$ and the Young's modulus is $1.2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$. If the temperature is increased by $10^oC$,what will be the thermal stress developed in the wire?
