$1 \propto \frac{\mathrm{FL}}{\mathrm{r}^{2} \mathrm{Y}} \Rightarrow 1 \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}[\mathrm{F}, \mathrm{L} \text { and } \mathrm{Y} \text { are constant }]$

$\frac{1_{2}}{\mathrm{l}_{1}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}_{1}}{\mathrm{r}_{2}}\right)^{2}=(\mathrm{n})^{2} \Rightarrow 1_{2}=\mathrm{n}^{2} \mathrm{l}_{1}$

    A uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus $Y$  and has a normal, unextended length $L.$ The radii, at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire, have values $R$ and $3R,$  respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass $M$ is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length, of this wire, would equal
