\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{As}, T=m\left(g+a_{0}\right)=10(10+2)=120 N\\ &\text { Stress }=\frac{T}{A}=\frac{120}{2 \times 10^{4}}=60 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2} \ \text {and } Y=\frac{\text { Stress }}{\text { Strain }}, \text { Strain }=\frac{\text { Stress }}{Y}\\ &=\frac{60 \times 10^{4}}{2 \times 10^{11}}\\ &=30 \times 10^{-7} \\ &= 3 \times 10^{-6} \end{aligned}
