In an experiment,brass and steel wires of length $1\,m$ each with areas of cross-section $1\,mm^2$ are used. The wires are connected in series and one end of the combined wire is connected to a rigid support,while the other end is subjected to an elongation. The stress required to produce a total elongation of $0.2\,mm$ is: [Given: Young's Modulus for steel and brass are $120 \times 10^9\,N/m^2$ and $60 \times 10^9\,N/m^2$ respectively]
