15.Two wires of different materials are suspended from a rigid support. They have the same length and diameter carrying the same load at their free ends . (a) Will the stress and strain in each wire be the same? (b) will the extension in both wire will be same? Ans- (a) stress same strain different (b) different.
16.The stress strain graph for two materials A and B are shown in fig.
