As shown in the figure, in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire, the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of 45° with the load axis. The length of wire is 62.8 cm and its diameter is 4 mm. The Young's modulus is found to be x x 10 4 Nm -2 . The value of x is_____.
