If one end of a wire is fixed with a rigid support and the other end is stretched by a force of $10 \,N,$ then the increase in length is $0.5\, mm$. The ratio of the energy of the wire and the work done in displacing it through $1.5\, mm$ by the weight is

A wire is suspended by one end. At the other end a weight equivalent to $20\, N$ force is applied. If the increase in length is $1.0\, mm$, the increase in energy of the wire will be .......  $joule$
