$A$ copper wire and an aluminium wire have lengths in the ratio $5: 2$, diameters in the ratio $4: 3$ and forces applied in the ratio $4: 5$. Find the ratio of increase in length of the copper wire to that of the aluminium wire. (Given: $Y_{Cu} = 1.1 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$, $Y_{Al} = 0.7 \times 10^{11} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$)

In an experiment,brass and steel wires of length $1\,m$ each with areas of cross-section $1\,mm^2$ are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support,while the other end is subjected to an elongation. The stress required to produce a total elongation of $0.2\,mm$ is: [Given: Young's Modulus for steel and brass are $120 \times 10^9\,N/m^2$ and $60 \times 10^9\,N/m^2$ respectively]

The value of Young's modulus for a perfectly rigid body is ...........
