The area of cross-section of the rope used to lift a load by a crane is $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$. The maximum lifting capacity of the crane is $10$ metric tons. To increase the lifting capacity of the crane to $25$ metric tons,the required area of cross-section of the rope should be $......... \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$ (take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$).
