The Young's modulus of a steel wire of length $6\,m$ and cross-sectional area $3\,mm^2$ is $2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$. The wire is suspended from its support on a given planet. $A$ block of mass $4\,kg$ is attached to the free end of the wire. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is $\frac{1}{4}$ of its value on the Earth. The elongation of the wire is (Take $g$ on the Earth $= 10\,m/s^2$):

Two wires $A$ and $B$ made of different materials of length $6.0 \ cm$ and $5.4 \ cm$, respectively, and area of cross-sections $3.0 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2$ and $4.5 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2$, respectively, are stretched by the same magnitude under a given load.

$A$ weight of $200 \, kg$ is suspended by a vertical wire of length $600.5 \, cm$. The area of cross-section of the wire is $1 \, mm^2$. When the load is removed,the wire contracts by $0.5 \, cm$. The Young's modulus of the material of the wire will be:

$A$ student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly $2 \,m$ long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be $0.8 \,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.05 \,mm$ at a load of exactly $1.0 \,kg$. The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be $0.4 \,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \,mm$. Take $g=9.8 \,m/s^2$ (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is
