$Dyne/cm^2$ is not a unit of

An elevator cable can have a maximum stress of $7 \times 10^7\,N/m^2$ for appropriate safety factors. Its maximum upward acceleration is $1.5\,m/s^2$. If the cable has to support the total weight of $2000\,kg$ of a loaded elevator,the minimum area of cross-section of the cable should be ....... $cm^2$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.

Due to the addition of impurities,the modulus of elasticity

$A$ sphere of mass $4 \,kg$ is attached to one end of a steel wire of length $1 \,m$ and radius $1 \,mm$. It is whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity $10 \,rad \,s^{-1}$. If the sphere is at the lowest point of its path,the elongation in the wire is . . . . . . $(g=10 \,ms^{-2}, Y_{\text{steel}}=20 \times 10^{10} \,Nm^{-2})$ (in $\,mm$)
