Two persons pull a wire towards themselves. Each person exerts a force of $200 \, N$ on the wire. Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $1 \times 10^{11} \, N \, m^{-2}$. The original length of the wire is $2 \, m$ and the area of cross-section is $2 \, cm^2$. The wire will extend in length by $...... \, \mu m$.
