What is buckling? What should be the shape of a rod for preventing buckling?

In order to determine the Young's Modulus of a wire of radius $0.2 \, cm$ (measured using a scale of least count $= 0.001 \, cm$) and length $1 \, m$ (measured using a scale of least count $= 1 \, mm$),a weight of mass $1 \, kg$ (measured using a scale of least count $= 1 \, g$) was hanged to get the elongation of $0.5 \, cm$ (measured using a scale of least count $= 0.001 \, cm$). What will be the fractional error in the value of Young's Modulus determined by this experiment? (in $\%$)
