    Assuming the same deformation and elastic modulus, we can use the relationship:

    (P/D) 1 = (P/D) 2

    Where P is the load, Dis the diameter of the wire, 1 is the first wire, and 2 is the second wire. Using the given values and solving for the diameter of the second wire:

    D = (24 / 0.24) (1)

    D = 100 mm
