$A$ metal wire with circular cross-section and length $1 \,m$ is pulled with a tensile force of $1000 \,N$ on each side. For the wire to be stretched not more than $0.25 \,cm$, the minimum diameter of the wire required is (Young's modulus of the metal $= 10^{11} \,Pa$, take $\sqrt{\pi} = 1.77$). (in $\,mm$)

  • B
    $2.26$
  • C
    $4.12$
  • D
