As shown in the figure, a block of mass $9 \mathrm{~kg}$ is hung by a wire of area of cross-section of 1 $\mathrm{mm}^2$ in a lift going up with an acceleration of $2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$. If the speed of the transverse wave on the wire is $120 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$, the density of the material of the wire is (Acceleration due to gravity $=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$)
  1. $1.5 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$
  2. $3.5 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$
  3. $5.5 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$
  4. $7.5 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$
