As shown in the figure, in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire, the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of 45° with the load axis. The length of wire is 62.8cm and its diameter is 4 mm. The Young’s modulus is found to be x \times 10^4 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}.The value of x is __________

\text{From graph}, \tan 45^{\circ}=\frac{\Delta l}{F} \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta l}{F}=1----(i) \\Also, \text{Young's modulus is given by}\ Y=\frac{F l}{A \Delta l}=\frac{l}{A} \times \frac{F}{\Delta l}=\frac{l}{A} \times 1$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore Y=\frac{l}{A}=\frac{62.8 \times 10^{-2}}{\pi \times 4 \times 10^{-6}}=5 \times 10^4 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2} \\ & \therefore x=5 \end{aligned}
