An aluminum wire and a steel wire, each of length 2.0 m, are hung from the ceiling. A 5.0-kg mass is suspended from the lower end of each wire
The aluminum wire has a diameter of 2.2 mm. What must be the diameter of the steel wire if it is to stretch the same distance as the aluminum wire, so that the two wires maintain equal lengths after the masses are attached? Young's modulus for aluminum is 0.70 × 1011 N/m2 and for steel it is 2.0 × 1011 N/m2.

Which statement best describes the solar neutrino problem?
A) Theoretical models predict that neutrinos should be produced in the Sun, but no neutrinos have ever been observed to be coming from the Sun. B) Solar neutrinos were detected but in fewer numbers than predicted by theoretical models. C) No one understands how it can be possible for neutrinos to be produced in the Sun. D) Our current understanding of fusion in the Sun suggests that all neutrinos should be destroyed before they arrive at Earth, yet neutrinos are being detected. E) The term solar neutrino problem refers to the fact that neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect.
