As shown in the figure, in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire, the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the load axis. The length of wire is $62.8\,cm$ and its diameter is $4\,mm$. The Young's modulus is found to be $x \times$ $10^4\,Nm ^{-2}$. The value of $x$ is

The following four wires of length $L$ and radius $r$ are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension, when the same tension is applied?

A $5\, m$ long aluminium wire ($Y = 7 \times {10^{10}}N/{m^2})$ of diameter $3\, mm$ supports a $40\, kg$ mass. In order to have the same elongation in a copper wire $(Y = 12 \times {10^{10}}N/{m^2})$ of the same length under the same weight, the diameter should now be, in $mm.$

There are two wires of same material and same length while the diameter of second wire is $2$ times the diameter of first wire, then ratio of extension produced in the wires by applying same load will be
