A boy has a catapult made of a rubber cord of length `42 cm` and diameter `6.0 mm`. The boy stretches the cord by `20 cm` to catapult a stone of mass `20 g`. The stone flies off with a speed of `20 ms^(-1)`. Find Young's modulus for rubber. Ignore the change in the cross section of the cord in streching.

A boy's catapult is made of rubber cord which is 42cm long, with 6mm diameter of cross-section and of negligible mass. The boy keeps a stone weighing 0.02kg on it and stretches the cond by 20cm by applying a constant force. When released. The stone flies off with a velocity of 20ms^(-1) . Neglect the change in the area of cross-section of the cord while stretched. The Young's modulus of rubber is closet to:
