Question
The Young's modulus of a steel wire of length $6 \mathrm{~m}$ and cross-sectional area $3 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}$, is $2 \times 10^{11}~\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$. The wire is suspended from its support on a given planet. A block of mass $4 \mathrm{~kg}$ is attached to the free end of the wire. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is $\frac{1}{4}$ of its value on the earth. The elongation of wire is (Take $g$ on the earth $=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$) :
