Two wire of some material have length 1: 3 when equal force are applied upon it their extension will be?
Correct answer: A. 1 : 3
- A. 1 : 3
- B. 1 : 9
- C. 9 : 1
- D. 3 : 1
Explanation
The extension of a wire under an applied force is directly proportional to its length when the material and force are constant. Given that the wires have lengths in the ratio 1:3, their extensions will also follow this ratio, resulting in an extension ratio of 1:3. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they suggest disproportionate extensions that do not align with the principles of material physics.
