A force is applied to a steel wire 'A' rigidly clamped at one end. As a result elongation in the wire is 0.2 mm. If same force is applied to another steel wire 'B' of double the length and a diameter 2A times that of the wire 'A', the elongation in the wire 4 ET will be (wires having uniform circular cross sections)
