As we have learned

Stress -

The internal restoring force acting per unit area of the cross-section of the deformed body is called stress.

 

 Tension in the wire = \frac{mv^2 }{r}= \frac{1 \times (2)^2}{0.2}= 20 N

 

Stress = F/A

SO  A = F / stress = \frac{20 }{5 \times 10 ^6 }

A = 4 \times 10 ^{-6} m^2 = 4 mm^2
