A wire elongates by when a load is hanged from it. If the wire goes over a pulley and two weights each are hung at the two ends, the elongation of the wire will be (in mm):

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D
    zero

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In the first case, the tension in the wire is . Elongation .In the second case, for a massless string over a frictionless pulley with two loads, the system is in equilibrium. The tension at any point in the wire is still (since ).Since the tension and the material/area are the same, the elongation remains .
