$A$ block of mass $2 \ kg$ is tied to one end of a $2 \ m$ long metal wire of $1.0 \ mm^2$ area of cross-section and rotated in a vertical circle such that the tension in the wire is zero at the highest point. If the maximum elongation in the wire is $2 \ mm$, the Young's modulus of the metal is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$)

  • A
    $1.0 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$
  • B
    $1.2 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$
  • C
    $2.0 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$
  • D
    $0.2 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$
