In an experiment to determine the Youngs modulus
of a metal, two identical wires are suspended using a
vernier arrangement as shown in figure. The left wire
is held taut with a fixed mass. Different loads can be
applied to the right wire and stretching of the wire
can be measured by using the vernier scale attached
to the wire on right. The test wire has a length of 2.2
m between support and vernier and a uniform
diameter of 0.42 mm. Take g =10ms
