Let the natural length of wire be $=1$

When only $M_1$ hanging

Using $\Delta l=\frac{F L}{A Y}$

$\left(l_1-l \right)=\frac{M_1 g \cdot l}{A Y \ldots(1)}$

When both $M_1, M_2$ hanging

$\left(l_2-l\right)=\frac{\left(M_1+M_2\right) g \cdot l}{A Y} \ldots(2)$

Dividing $(1)$ by $(2)$

$\frac{l_1-l}{l_2-l}=\frac{M_1}{M_1+M_2}$

Solving this we get

$I=\frac{M_1}{M_2}\left(l_1-l_2\right)+I_1$
