$A$ $3 \ m$ long wire of radius $3 \ mm$ shows an extension of $0.1 \ mm$ when loaded vertically by a mass of $50 \ kg$ in an experiment to determine Young's modulus. The value of Young's modulus of the wire as per this experiment is $P \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$,where the value of $P$ is: (Take $g = 3 \pi \ m/s^2$)

If the given graph shows the load $(W)$ attached to and the elongation $(\Delta l)$ produced in a wire of length $1 \,m$ and area of cross-section $1 \,mm^2$, then the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is

Two wires of different materials have same length $L$ and same diameter $d$. The second wire is connected at the end of the first wire and forms one single wire of double the length. This wire is subjected to a stretching force $F$ to produce an elongation $\ell$. The two wires have:
