    Two metallic wires $P$ and $Q$ have same volume and are made up of same material. If their area of cross sections are in the ratio $4: 1$ and force $F_1$ is applied to $\mathrm{P}$, an extension of $\Delta l$ is produced. The force which is required to produce same extension in $Q$ is $\mathrm{F}_2$.The value of $\frac{\mathrm{F}_1}{\mathrm{~F}_2}$ is__________.

    A steel wire of length ' $L$ ' at $40^{\circ}\,C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass ' $m$ ' is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ}\,C$ to $30^{\circ}\,C$ to regain its original length ' $L$ '. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $10^{-5} { }^{\circ}\,C$, Young's modulus of steel is $10^{11}\, N /$ $m ^2$ and radius of the wire is $1\, mm$.
