Overall changes in volume and radii of a uniform cylindrical steel wire are $0.2 \%$ and $0.002 \%$ respectively when subjected to some suitable force. Calculate the longitudinal tensile stress acting on the wire. (Given: Young's modulus $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$)

  • A
    $3.2 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2$
  • B
    $3.2 \times 10^7 \ N/m^2$
  • C
    $3.6 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2$
  • D
    $4.08 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
