Two wires of the same length and radius are joined end-to-end and loaded. The Young's moduli of the materials of the two wires are $Y_{1}$ and $Y_{2}$. If the combination behaves as a single wire,then its equivalent Young's modulus is:

  • A
    $Y = \frac{Y_{1} Y_{2}}{Y_{1} + Y_{2}}$
  • B
    $Y = \frac{2 Y_{1} Y_{2}}{3(Y_{1} + Y_{2})}$
  • C
    $Y = \frac{2 Y_{1} Y_{2}}{Y_{1} + Y_{2}}$
  • D
    $Y = \frac{Y_{1} Y_{2}}{2(Y_{1} + Y_{2})}$
