$A$ steel wire of length $3 \ m$ and a copper wire of length $2.2 \ m$ are connected end to end. When the combination is stretched by a force, the net elongation is $1.05 \ mm$. If the area of cross-section of each wire is $6 \ mm^2$, then the load applied is (Young's modulus of steel and copper are respectively $2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and $1.1 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$) (in $N$)
