ConceptBehaviour of Metal Wire Under Increasing Load

#### Question

A and B are two steel wires and the radius of A is twice that of B. If they are stretched by the same load, then the stress on B is .....

(a) four times that of A.

(b) two times that of A.

(c) three times that of A.

(d) same as that of A.

#### Solution

four times that of A.

(rA=2rB) ............(1)

therefore stress=F/A

stress prop1/r^2

therefore (stress_A)/(stress_b)=r_B^2/r_A^2

"Stress of B"=r_A^2/r_B^2 xx " stress of "A

"Stress of B"=(2r_B)^2/r_B^2 xx " stress of "A  .............. from equation 1

"Stress of B"=(4r_B^2)/r_B^2 xx " stress of "A

"Stress on B"=4* "Stress on A"

Is there an error in this question or solution?
