Two wires of identical dimensions but of different materials having Young's moduli \(Y_1, Y_2\) are joined end to end. When the first wire is under a tension \(T,\) it elongates by \(x_1\) while the second wire elongates by \(x_2\) under the same tension \(T.\) The elongation of the composite wire when it is under tension \(T\) is:

1. \(x_1+x_2\) 2. \(\dfrac{Y_1x_1+Y_2x_2}{Y_1+Y_2}\)
