Two metallic wires $P$ and $Q$ have the same volume and are made up of the same material. If their areas of cross-section are in the ratio $4:1$ and a force $F_1$ is applied to $P$,an extension of $\Delta l$ is produced. The force required to produce the same extension in $Q$ is $F_2$. The value of $\frac{F_1}{F_2}$ is . . . . . . .
