A 5 m long aluminium wire $\left(Y=7\times {10}^{10}N/m^2\right)$ of diameter 3 mm supports a 40 kg mass. In order to have the same elongation in a copper wire $\left(Y=12\times {10}^{10}N/m^2\right)$ of the same length under the same weight, the diameter of the copper wire should be, in mm:

1. 1.75                                  
2. 1.5
3. 2.5                                   
4. 5.0

1. 0.5 mm                             

2. 0.25 mm

3. 0.05 mm                           

4. 5 mm

An iron rod of length 2m and cross section area of 50 X ${10}^{-6} m^2$ , is stretched by 0.5 mm, when a mass of 250 kg is hung from its lower end. Young's modulus of the iron rod is-
