A wire, made of a certain material of length-l and area of cross section-a can withstand a maximum load $=\mathrm{W}$ without breaking. If, another wire of the same material and crosssectional area is used with double the original length, what will be the maximum load that the wire can withstand, without breaking?
A light rod of length 1 m is suspended from ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal length tied to its ends. One of the wires is made of material $X$ and is of cross-section $0.1 \mathrm{~cm}^2$. and the other of material Y of cross-section $0.3 \mathrm{~cm}^2 . \mathrm{A}$ weight is hung from the wire at a point to produce equal strain in the wires. The ratio of Young's moduli of wires A to B is $3: 1$. The location of the point from one end of the wire is
