$A$ uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus $Y$ and has a normal,unextended length $L$. The radii at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire have values $R$ and $3R$,respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass $M$ is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length of this wire would be:

$A$ steel ring of radius '$r$' is to be fitted over a wooden disc of radius '$R$' $(R > r)$. The force required to expand the ring so that it fits over the disc is ($Y =$ Young's modulus of steel,$A =$ area of cross-section of the wire).
