The young's modulus, of the material of wood is Y. If we take another wire of the same material but twice as large in diameter and measure its young's modulus will it be 2Y ?

Young's modulus of the material of a wire is 9.8 x 10^10 N/m^2 and the area of cross-section of the wire is 0.012 cm^2 . Elastic limit of the material of the wire is exceeded when the strain exceeds 1/2400 . Find the maximum load that can be used to stretch the wire without causing a permanent set.
