At $40\,^oC$,a brass wire of radius $0.5\, mm$ (diameter $1\, mm$) is hung from the ceiling. $A$ small mass $M$ is hung from the free end of the wire. When the wire is cooled down from $40\,^oC$ to $20\,^oC$,it regains its original length of $0.2\, m$. The value of $M$ is close to ........$kg$. (Coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 10^{-5}/^oC$ and Young's modulus $Y = 10^{11}\, N/m^2$; $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

When a wire of length $L$ clamped at one end is pulled by a force $F$ from the other end,its length increases by $l$. If the radius of the wire and the applied force were halved,then the increase in its length is
