The ends of a uniform wire of cross-sectional area 10 *m and negligible mass are attached to fixed points A and B which are 1 m apart in the same horizontal plane. The wire is initially straight and unstretched. A mass of 0.5 kg is attached to the mid-point of the wire and hangs in equilibrium with the mid-point at a distance 10 mm below AB. Calculate the value of Young's modulus for the wire. [O & C)
