Detailed Solution

\large {\ell _{st}} = 4.7m\,\,{\ell _{cu}} = 3.5m;\;{A_{st}} = 3 \times {10^{ - 5}}{m^2}
\large {A_{cu}} = 4 \times {10^{ - 5}}{m^2};\frac{{{y_{st}}}}{{{y_{cu}}}} = ?
F is same e is same \large y = \frac{F}{A} \times \frac{\ell }{e} \Rightarrow y\alpha \frac{\ell }{A}
\large \frac{{{y_{st}}}}{{{y_{cu}}}} = \frac{{{\ell _{st}} \times {A_{cu}}}}{{{\ell _{cu}} \times {A_{st}}}} = \frac{{4.7}}{{3.5}} \times \frac{{4 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}}}{{3 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}}} = \frac{{188}}{{105}} = 1.8
