\begin{aligned} (\Delta l)_c= & \left(\frac{\mathrm{Fl}}{\mathrm{AY}}\right)_c=\frac{500 \times 8}{0.5 \times 10^{-4} \times 10^{11}} \\ (\Delta l)_c & =0.8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}=0.8 \mathrm{~mm} . \end{aligned}


\begin{aligned} (\Delta l)_s= & \left(\frac{\mathrm{Fl}}{\mathrm{AY}}\right)_s \\ &=\frac{500 \times 4}{0.5 \times 10^{-4 \times 2 \times 10^{11}}}=0.2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\\&=0.2 \mathrm{~mm} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &(\Delta l)_s=\frac{1}{4}(\Delta l)_c \mathrm{~mm} . \\ & \Delta l=0 . s+0.2=1.00 \mathrm{~mm} \end{aligned}
