\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{Y} \cdot \frac{\Delta \ell_1}{\ell} \\ & \Delta \mathrm{l}_1=\frac{\mathrm{W} \ell}{\mathrm{AY}} \\ & \frac{\Delta \ell_1}{\Delta \ell_2}=\frac{12}{1} \end{aligned}            \begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{W}}{3 \mathrm{~A}}=4 \mathrm{Y} \cdot \frac{\Delta \ell_2}{\ell} \\ & \Delta \mathrm{l}_2=\frac{\mathrm{W} \ell}{12 \mathrm{AY}} \end{aligned}
