On applying a stress of $20 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$,the length of a perfectly elastic wire is doubled. Its Young's modulus will be:

  • A
    $40 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
  • B
    $20 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
  • C
    $10 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$

In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire of length exactly $1\;m$,the extension in the length of the wire is measured as $0.4\;mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.02\;mm$ when a load of $1\;kg$ is applied. The diameter of the wire is measured as $0.4\;mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01\;mm$. The error in the measurement of Young's modulus $(\Delta Y)$ is found to be $x \times 10^{10}\;N/m^2$. The value of $x$ is (Take $g = 10\;m/s^2$)
