A student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly $2 \mathrm{~m}$ long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be $0.8 \mathrm{~mm}$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.05 \mathrm{~mm}$ at a load of exactly $1.0 \mathrm{~kg}$. The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be $0.4 \mathrm{~mm}$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \mathrm{~mm}$. Take $g=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is
