This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a), (d) for steel wire Ysteel= stress/strain=

When F and A are same for both the wires . hence stress will be same for both the wire
(Strain)steel= stress/Ysteel and straincopper=stress/Ycopper
Ysteel Ycopper
hence they both have different starin

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a), (d) An ideal liquid is not compressible
Hence V=0
Bulk modulus B= strss /volumetric strain=
Compressibility K= 1/B=1/
As there is no tangential force exists. So shear strain =0

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(b), (d) Let mass m is placed at x from the end B respectively.
TA and TB be the tensions in wire A and wire B respectively.
For the rotational equilibrium of the system,

TBx-TA(l-x)=0
=
Stress in wire A = SA=
Stress in wire B = SB= where a are the area of wire
We know that aB=2aA
Now for equal stress
SA=SB
So
So x =l/3 and l-x= 2l/3
Hence mass m should placed to B.
For equal strain
StrainA= StrainB
After solving we get x= x= 10l/17
l-x=l=10l/17=7l/17
