Wires $A$ and $B$ are connected with blocks $P$ and $Q$ as shown. The ratio of lengths,radii,and Young's modulus of wires $A$ and $B$ are $r, 2r$,and $3r$ respectively ($r$ is a constant). Find the mass of block $P$ if the ratio of the increase in their corresponding lengths is $1/(6r^2)$. The mass of block $Q$ is $3M$.

$A$ student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly $2 \,m$ long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be $0.8 \,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.05 \,mm$ at a load of exactly $1.0 \,kg$. The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be $0.4 \,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \,mm$. Take $g=9.8 \,m/s^2$ (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is
