To determine the Young's modulus of a wire,the formula is $Y = \frac{FL}{A\Delta L}$,where $L$ is the length,$A$ is the area of cross-section of the wire,and $\Delta L$ is the change in length of the wire when stretched with a force $F$. The conversion factor to change the unit of Young's modulus from $CGS$ to $MKS$ system is $x \times 10^{-1} \ N/m^2$. Find the value of $x$.

  • A
    $100$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $0.01$
