Two weightless cables of equal length and cross sectional area are hanging from a ceiling as shown in the figure. They are connected by a horizontal light bar of length 1.0 m and pulled by a force, F. The modulus of elasticity of Cable-1 and Cable-2 are 50 GPa and 200 GPa, respectively. If the deformation in both the cables is equal, the distance x, in m is _____________. (round off to one decimal place)

Correct : 0.8
