Two wires $A$ and $B$ are of the same material. Their lengths are in the ratio $1: 2$ and diameters are in the ratio $2: 1$. When stretched by forces $F_{A}$ and $F_{B}$ respectively,they get equal increase in their lengths. Then the ratio $F_{A} / F_{B}$ is

  • A
    $1: 2$
  • B
    $1: 1$
  • C
    $2: 1$
  • D
    $8: 1$

$A$ one metre steel wire of negligible mass and area of cross-section $0.01 \,cm^2$ is kept on a smooth horizontal table with one end fixed. $A$ ball of mass $1 \,kg$ is attached to the other end. The ball and the wire are rotating with an angular velocity of $\omega$. If the elongation of the wire is $2 \,mm$, then $\omega$ is (Young's modulus of steel $= 2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$)
