    Explanation:

    Young modulus known as modulus of elasticity is defined as;

    E = σ/ε

    Where E is young modulus

    ε is strain defined as extention / length

    σ is stress defined as force / area

    Let's calculate σ;

    Force = mass * gravity = 200/1000. * 10 = 0.2kg * 10 = 2N

    The area impacted by the force is raduis surface of the wire and it's calculated thus;

    πr^2 = 22/7 * (0.04) ^2; 4cm in m = 0.04m=0.005m2

    Hence σ = 2/0.005=400N/M2

    Let's calculate ε;

    ε = extension / original length

    extension = final length - original length

    extension=25.7-25=0.7cm = 0.007m

    ε = 0.7/25

    Hence E = 400 / 0.7/25

    E = 400 * 25 / 0.7 = 14285.71N/m2
