A 0.1 kg mass is suspended from a wire of negligible mass. The length of the wire is 1 m and its cross-sectional area is 4.9×10-7 m2. If the mass is pulled a little in the vertically downward direction and released, it performs a simple harmonic motion of angular frequency 140 rad s-1. If Young's modulus of the material of the wire is n×109 N m-2, the value of n is
