    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 $45^{\circ}$ 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 $x \times$ $10^4\,Nm ^{-2}$. The value of $x$ is
