The correct answer is:
Let the length of wire = L
Radius = r
When a force F is applied, then increase in length =
Since, Young’s modulus
…(i)
For another wire,
Length of wire, L’ = 2L
Radius of wire, r’ = 2r
Applied force, F’ = 2F
where, ’ = elongation in length
….(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have ’ =
Radius = r
When a force F is applied, then increase in length =
Since, Young’s modulus

For another wire,
Length of wire, L’ = 2L
