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 $45^{\circ}$ with the load axis The length of wire is $628 \,cm$ and its diameter is $4 \,mm$ The Young's modulus is found to be $x \times 10^4 Nm ^{-2}$The value of $x$ is

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: If E be the total energy of a satellite moving around the earth, then its potential energy will be \(\frac{E}{2}\)
Statement II: The kinetic energy of a satellite revolving in an orbit is equal to the half the magnitude of total energy E.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Potential energy as a function of r is given by \(U = \frac{A}{r^{10}}-\frac{B}{r^5}\), where \(r\) is the interatomic distance, A and B are positive constants. The equilibrium distance between the two atoms will be:
