1. A 5kg mass is hung by a vertical steel wire 0.5 m long and 6x 10 cm' in cross- I
sectional area. Hanging from the bottom of this mass is a similar steel wire, from
which in turn hangs a 10 kg mass. For each wire, compute (a) tensile strain and
(b) the elongation. The Young's modulus of steel is 2 x10" Pa.
