Four uniform wires of the same material are stretched by the same force. The dimensions of the wires are given below. Which one has the minimum elongation?

$A$ copper wire $(Y = 1 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2)$ of length $6 \, m$ and a steel wire $(Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2)$ of length $4 \, m$,each of cross-sectional area $10^{-5} \, m^2$,are fastened end to end and stretched by a tension of $100 \, N$. The elongation produced in the copper wire is ......... $mm$.

$A$ $500 \,g$ ball is attached to one end of an aluminum wire of area of cross-section $0.5 \,mm^2$ and an unstretched length of $1.4 \,m$. The other end of the wire is fixed to the top of a vertical pole. The ball rotates about the pole in a horizontal plane such that the angle between the wire and the horizontal is $30^{\circ}$. The increase in the length of the wire is . . . . . . $mm$. (Young's modulus of aluminum $= 0.7 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$)
