$A$ $0.1 \,kg$ mass is suspended from a wire of negligible mass. The length of the wire is $1 \,m$ and its cross-sectional area is $4.9 \times 10^{-7} \,m^2$. If the mass is pulled a little in the vertically downward direction and released, it performs simple harmonic motion of angular frequency $140 \,rad \,s^{-1}$. If the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $n \times 10^9 \,N \,m^{-2}$, the value of $n$ is

The elongation of the copper wire of cross-sectional area $3.5 \,mm^2$, as shown in the figure, is (Given: $Y_{\text{copper}} = 10 \times 10^{10} \,N/m^2$ and $g = 10 \,m/s^2$).
