Two wires, X and Y, are made from different metals and have different dimensions. The Young modulus of wire X is twice that of wire Y. The diameter of wire X is half that of wire Y. Both wires are extended with equal strain and obey Hooke’s law. What is the ratio Y wirein tension tension in wire X ? A 1/8 B1/ 2 C 1 D 8

Yx= 2Yy ........Y-oungs modulus 
Dx = 1/2 Dy ..............D- diameter 

e/L- strain 

Tx/ Ty =[ Yx * pi Dx^2 /4 e / L] /[ Yy * pi Dy ^2/ 4 *e /L ] 

= Yx Dx^2 / Yy Dy^2 

= Yx * Dx^2 / 1/2Yx. 4Dx^2 
= 1/ (1/2 *4) 
= 1/2 

note :- Y = (T/A) / (e/L) 
A = pi d^2 /4 

hope this help you

elumalaisrilakp4z4h3: thank you so much bro... : )

The ratio of tension in wire X to the tension in wire Y is 1/2.
