When a weight $Mg$ is suspended from a wire of length $L$,the increase in length is $l$ meters. The energy stored in the wire is:

  • A
    $2Mgl$
  • B
    $Mgl$
  • C
    $\frac{Mgl}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{Mgl}{4}$

$A$ boy's catapult is made of a rubber cord which is $42\, cm$ long,with $6\, mm$ diameter of cross-section and of negligible mass. The boy keeps a stone weighing $0.02\, kg$ on it and stretches the cord by $20\, cm$ by applying a constant force. When released,the stone flies off with a velocity of $20\, m/s$. Neglect the change in the area of cross-section of the cord while stretched. The Young's modulus of rubber is closest to:
