Two blocks of mass $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ and $4 \mathrm{~kg}$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in figure. The radius of wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5}$ $\mathrm{m}$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2.0 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$. The longitudinal strain developed in the wire is $\frac{1}{\alpha \pi}$. The value of $\alpha$ is [Use $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )

$\mathrm{T}=\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~m}_1 \mathrm{~m}_2}{\mathrm{~m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2}\right) \mathrm{g}=\frac{80}{3} \mathrm{~N}$

$\mathrm{~A}=\pi \mathrm{r}^2=16 \pi \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}^2$

$\text { Strain }=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{AY}}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{AY}}$

$=\frac{80 / 3}{16 \pi \times 10^{-10} \times 2 \times 10^{11}}=\frac{1}{12 \pi}$
