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