Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5} \ m$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$. The longitudinal strain developed in the wire is $\frac{1}{\alpha \pi}$. The value of $\alpha$ is [Use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$].
