Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} V_{w} = \sqrt{\frac{T}{μ}} \\ 60 = \sqrt{\frac{T}{10 \times 10^{- 3}} \times 0 .5} \\ T = \frac{(60)^{2} \times 10^{- 2}}{0 .5} = 72 N \\ Δl = \frac{Fl}{AY} = \frac{72 \times 0 .5}{2 \times 10^{- 6} \times 1 .2 \times 10^{11}} \\ = \frac{72 \times 5}{24} \times 10^{- 5} = 15 \times 10^{- 5} \end{array}$
