A wire elongates by 1 mm when a load W is hanged from it. If the wire goes ever a pulley and two weight W each are hang at the two ends. What will be the elongation of the wire ? (in mm)
Elongation in the wire l = TL /AY $ \therefore Elongation in wire tension in the wire in first case T_1 = wand in second case $ $ T_2 = { 2W \over W + W } = W $ As Tension in the wire in both the cases are equal. $ \therefore Elongation in the wire will be equal.$
