For same material the ratio of stress to strain is same For first cube Stress 1= area 1 force 1=(0.12)105 For second block, stress 2= area 2 force 2=(0.22)105 strain 2= original length change in length 2=0.2x x is the displacement for second block. For same material, strain 1 stress 1= strain 2 stress 2 or, 0.10.5×10−2(0.1)210.5=0.2x(0.2)2105 Solving we get, x=0.25 cm
