$A$ load of $1 \,kg$ weight is attached to one end of a steel wire of area of cross-section $3 \,mm^2$ and Young's modulus $10^{11} \,N/m^2$. The other end is suspended vertically from a hook on a wall, then the load is pulled horizontally and released. When the load passes through its lowest position, the fractional change in length is $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$.

$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force $F$,the increase in its length is $l$. If another wire of same material but of length $2L$ and radius $2r$ is stretched with a force of $2F$,the increase in its length will be

$A$ student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire of length $2 \, m$ using Searle's method. In an observation,for a load of $10 \, kg$,the extension of the wire is measured as $0.88 \, mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.05 \, mm$. The student also measures the diameter of the wire as $0.4 \, mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \, mm$. Take $g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$ (exact). Calculate the Young's modulus of the wire.
