A wire of cross-section A1 and length l1 breaks when it is under tension T1; a second wire made of the same material but of cross-section A2 and length l2 breaks under tension T2. A third wire of the same material having cross-section A, length l breaks under tension T1+T22. Then:

1. A=A1+A22, l=l1+l22
2. l=l1+l22
3. A=A1+A22
4. A=A1T1+A2T22(T1+T2), l=l1T1+l2T22(T1+T2)

If two identically shaped rods are joined end to end and compressive forces are applied to the system, the compressive strain will be:
    
 
1. larger in the rod with a larger Young's modulus
2. larger in the rod with a smaller Young's modulus
3. equal in both the rods
4. negative in the rod with a smaller Young's modulus

A steel wire of length 4.7 m and cross-sectional area 3.0×105 m2 is stretched by the same amount as a copper wire of length 3.5 m and cross-sectional area of 4.0×105 m2 under a given load. The ratio of Young’s modulus of steel to that of copper is:
1. 1.79:1
2. 1:1.79
3. 1:1
4. 1.97:1
