A planet of radius $R =\frac{1}{10} \times$ (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth $\frac{R}{5}$ on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density $10^{-3} \ kgm ^{-1}$ into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere, the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth $=6 \times 10^6 \ m$ and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is $10 \ ms ^{-2}$ )
