Question

An aluminum wire and a copper wire of the same length and cross section are joined end to end. The composite wire is hung from a rigid support and a load is suspended from the free end. if the increase in length of the composite wire is 1.8mm, find the increase in the length of each wire. (YAl=7×1010Nm2, YCu=1.1×1011Nm2)

Moderate
Solution

e1YY=FlAe

e1e2=Y2Y1e11.8-e1=1.1×10117×1010e1=1.1

e2=1.8-1.1=0.7
