If one end of a wire is fixed with a rigid support and the other end is stretched by a force of $10 \, N$,then the increase in length is $0.5 \, mm$. The ratio of the energy stored in the wire to the work done in displacing it through $1.5 \, mm$ by the weight is

An $8\,m$ long copper wire and $4\,m$ long steel wire,each of cross-section $0.5\,cm^2$,are fastened end to end and stretched by a $500\,N$ force. The elastic potential energy of the system is (Young's modulus: $Y_{cu} = 1 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$,$Y_{steel} = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$):
