$A$ string of length $0.314 \text{ m}$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2$ is connected to another string of length $B$ and Young's modulus both twice of those of $A$. This series combination of strings is then suspended from a rigid support and its free end is fixed to a load of mass $0.8 \text{ kg}$. The net change in length of the combination is . . . . . . $\text{mm}$. (radius of both the strings is $0.2 \text{ mm}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ m/s}^2$) (Mass of both strings is to be neglected as compared to the mass of load)
