Two wires of same material , having cross-sectional areas in the ratio 1 : 2 and lengths in the ratio 1 : 4 are stretched by the same force. The ratio of the stresses in the wires will be ………….. .

Two wires of same material , having cross-sectional areas in the ratio

1.	Two wires of same material , having cross-sectional areas in the ratio 1 : 2 and lengths in the ratio 1 : 4 are stretched by the same force. The ratio of the stresses in the wires will be ………….. .
Answer» `1 : 2` `2 : 1` `1 : 4` `4 : 1` SOLUTION :STRESS = `F/A , (("Stress")_1)/(("Stress")_2) = (A_2)/(A_1) = 2/1`
