$A$ boy's catapult is made of a rubber cord which is $42\, cm$ long,with $6\, mm$ diameter of cross-section and of negligible mass. The boy keeps a stone weighing $0.02\, kg$ on it and stretches the cord by $20\, cm$ by applying a constant force. When released,the stone flies off with a velocity of $20\, m/s$. Neglect the change in the area of cross-section of the cord while stretched. The Young's modulus of rubber is closest to:

$A$ rubber cord catapult has a cross-sectional area of $25\,mm^2$ and an initial length of $10\,cm$. It is stretched by $5\,cm$ and then released to project a missile of mass $5\,g$. Taking $Y_{rubber} = 5 \times 10^8\,N/m^2$,the velocity of the projected missile is ......... $m/s$.
