To solve the problem, we will use the concept of Young's modulus, which relates stress and strain in a material. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Initial Parameters:** - Let the original length of the wire be \( L \). - Let the original radius of the wire be \( R \). - Let the original load (force) applied on the wire be \( F \). ...
