$A$ wire of length $100 \ cm$ and area of cross-section $2 \ mm^2$ is stretched by two forces of each $440 \ N$ applied at the ends of the wire in opposite directions along the length of the wire. If the elongation of the wire is $2 \ mm$,the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is:

  • A
    $4.4 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$
  • B
    $1.1 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$
  • C
    $2.2 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$
  • D
    $3.3 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$
