Answer:
2.4 mm
Explanation:
Given that:
Initial Original length of the wire L = 3 mm
The stretch of the first wire ΔL= 1. 2 mm
The length of the second wire L'' = 6 mm
The stretch of the second wire ΔL'' = ???
Considering the Tension of the system; the Young modulus and the cross sectional remains constant ; as such:
Thus, the same material under the same tension stretches 2.4 mm
