As shown in the figure, a block of mass $9 \, kg$ is hung by a wire of area of cross-section $1 \, mm^2$ in a lift going up with an acceleration of $2 \, ms^{-2}$. If the speed of the transverse wave on the wire is $120 \, ms^{-1}$, the density of the material of the wire is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \, ms^{-2}$)
