The length of a wire is $l_1$ when a mass $M_1$ is hung from it,and it is $l_2$ when both masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are hung from it. The natural length of the wire is ........

  • A
    $\frac{M_1}{M_2}(l_1-l_2)+l_1$
  • B
    $\frac{M_2 l_1-M_1 l_2}{M_1+M_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{l_1+l_2}{2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{l_1 l_2}$
