A rod of length \(l\) and negligible mass is suspended at its two ends by two wires of steel (wire \(A\)) and aluminium (wire \(B\)) of equal lengths (figure). The crosse-sectional areas of wires \(A\) and \(B\) are \(1.0~\text{mm}^2\) and \(2.0~\text{mm}^2\) respectively. \((Y_{\text{Al}}=70\times10^9~\text{N/m}^2\) and \(Y_{\text{steel}}=200\times10^9~\text{N/m}^2)\)
