Wires $A$ and $B$ are connected with blocks $P$ and $Q$ as shown. The ratio of lengths,radii,and Young's modulus of wires $A$ and $B$ are $r, 2r$,and $3r$ respectively ($r$ is a constant). Find the mass of block $P$ if the ratio of the increase in their corresponding lengths is $1/(6r^2)$. The mass of block $Q$ is $3M$.
