A wire of length ‘L’, radius ‘r’ when stretched with a force ‘F’ changes in length by l’. What will be the change in length of a wire of same material having length ‘2L’ radius ‘2r and stretched by a force ‘2F’?

A force of 100 N produces a change of 0.1% in a length of wire of area of cross section 1 $mm^2$ . Young’s modulus of the wire is ____

A copper wire $(Y=1\times10^{11} N/m^2)$ of length 6 m and a steel wire $(Y=2\times10^{11} N/m^2)$ of length 4 m each of cross-section $10^{-5}m^2$ are fastened end to end and stretched by a tension of 100 N. The elongation produced in the copper wire is
