An aluminium wire and a copper wire of equal length, and equal cross section are joined end to end. The composite wire is suspended from a rigid support and a load is suspended from its free end. If the increase in the length of the composite wire is 9 mm, find the increase in the length of each wire. [Young's moduli for aluminium and copper are 7 × 1010 Pa and 1.1 × 10" Pa, respectively.]
