(c)$l = \frac{{FL}}{{AY}} \Rightarrow l \propto \frac{1}{{{r^2}}}$ $(F, L$ and $Y$ are constant)

$\frac{{{l_2}}}{{{l_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)^2} = {(2)^2} = 4$

$ \Rightarrow {l_2} = 4{l_1} = 4cm$

    A metal rod of cross-sectional area $10^{-4} \,m ^{2}$ is hanging in a chamber kept at $20^{\circ} C$ with a weight attached to its free end. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \,K ^{-1}$ and its Young's modulus is $4 \times 10^{12} \,N / m ^{2}$. When the temperature of the chamber is lowered to $T$, then a weight of $5000 \,N$ needs to be attached to the rod, so that its length is unchanged. Then, $T$ is ............ $^{\circ} C$
