The length of a metallic wire is $l$. The tension in the wire is $T_1$ for length $l_1$ and the tension in the wire is $T_2$ for length $l_2$. Find the original length $l$.

  • A
    $\sqrt{l_{1} l_{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{l_{1} T_{2}-l_{2} T_{1}}{T_{2}-T_{1}}$
  • C
    $\frac{l_{1} T_{2}+l_{2} T_{1}}{T_{2}+T_{1}}$
  • D
    $\frac{l_{1}+l_{2}}{2}$

Two wires $A$ and $B$ made of the same material and areas of cross-section in the ratio $1: 2$ are stretched by the same force. If the masses of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $2: 3$, then the ratio of the elongations of the wires $A$ and $B$ is

$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force $F$,its length increases by $5\,cm$. Another wire of the same material of length $4L$ and radius $4r$ is pulled by a force $4F$ under the same conditions. The increase in length of this wire is $....cm$.
