$A$ 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 $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$.
