Three wires A, B, C made of the same material and radius have different lengths. The graphs in the figure show the elongation-load variation. The longest wire is
1. | A | 2. | B |
3. | C | 4. | All |
The breaking stress of a wire depends upon:
1. | material of the wire. |
2. | length of the wire. |
3. | radius of the wire. |
4. | shape of the cross-section. |

The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and of the same area of cross-section, one of steel and another of brass are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level, then the weight added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of:
1. | 1:2 | 2. | 2:1 |
3. | 4:1 | 4. | 1:1 |
