$A$ uniform wire of length $l$ and weight $w$ is suspended from the roof with a weight $W$ attached at the other end. The stress in the wire at a distance $l/3$ from the top is given by $(\frac{W}{A} + \gamma \frac{w}{A})$, where $A$ is the cross-sectional area of the wire. The value of $\gamma$ is . . . . . . .
