Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has a cross-sectional area A and the second wire has a cross-sectional area 3A. If the length of the first wire is increased by Δl on applying a force F, how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?
1. | 9F | 2. | 6F |
3. | 4F | 4. | F |
