A pendulum made of a uniform wire of cross-sectional area \(A\) has time period \(T\). When an additional mass \(M\) is added to its bob, the time period changes to \(T_M\). If the Young’s modulus of the material of the wire is \(Y\) then \(\frac{1}{Y}\) is equal to:
(\(g=\) gravitational acceleration)
1. \( \left[\left(\frac{{T}_{{M}}}{{T}}\right)^2-1\right] \frac{{Mg}}{{A}} \)
2. \(\left[1-\left(\frac{{T}_{{M}}}{{T}}\right)^2\right] \frac{{A}}{{Mg}} \)
3. \(\left[1-\left(\frac{{T}}{{T}_{{M}}}\right)^2\right] \frac{{A}}{{Mg}} \)
