$\frac{\text { Energystored }}{\text { Volume }}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{(\text { Stress })^{2}}{\mathrm{Y}}$

$\frac{\mathrm{u}_{1}}{\mathrm{u}_{2}}=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow 4 \mathrm{u}_{1}=\mathrm{u}_{2}$

$4 \frac{1}{2 \mathrm{Y}}\left[\frac{\mathrm{W} \cdot 4}{\pi \mathrm{d}_{1}^{2}}\right]^{2}=\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{Y}}\left[\frac{\mathrm{W} \cdot 4}{\pi \mathrm{d}_{2}^{2}}\right]^{2}$

$4=\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}_{1}}{\mathrm{d}_{2}}\right)^{4}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d}_{1}}{\mathrm{d}_{2}}=\sqrt{2}: 1$

    Young's modulus is determined by the equation given by $\mathrm{Y}=49000 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\ell} \frac{\text { dyne }}{\mathrm{cm}^2}$ where $\mathrm{M}$ is the mass and $\ell$ is the extension of wre used in the experiment. Now error in Young modules $(\mathrm{Y})$ is estimated by taking data from $M-\ell$ plot in graph paper. The smallest scale divisions are $5 \mathrm{~g}$ and $0.02$ $\mathrm{cm}$ along load axis and extension axis respectively. If the value of $M$ and $\ell$ are $500 \mathrm{~g}$ and $2 \mathrm{~cm}$ respectively then percentage error of $\mathrm{Y}$ is :
