A boy's catapult is made of rubber cord ...

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:

A

`10^(6)Nm^(-2)`

B

`10^(4)Nm^(-2)`

C

`10^(8)Nm^(-2)`

D

`10^(3)Nm^(-2)`
