In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire of length exactly $1\;m$,the extension in the length of the wire is measured as $0.4\;mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.02\;mm$ when a load of $1\;kg$ is applied. The diameter of the wire is measured as $0.4\;mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01\;mm$. The error in the measurement of Young's modulus $(\Delta Y)$ is found to be $x \times 10^{10}\;N/m^2$. The value of $x$ is (Take $g = 10\;m/s^2$)

The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and of the same area of cross-section,one of steel and another of brass,are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level,then the weights added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of
