Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50,000 \;kg$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $30$ and $60\; cm$ respectively. Assuming the load distribution to be uniform, calculate the compressional strain of each column.

In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus, steel wires of five different lengths $(1,2,3,4$ and $5\,m )$ but of same cross section $\left(2\,mm ^{2}\right)$ were taken and curves between extension and load were obtained. The slope (extension/load) of the curves were plotted with the wire length and the following graph is obtained. If the Young's modulus of given steel wires is $x \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}$, then the value of $x$ is
