A wire of length \(L\) and radius \(r \) is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force \(F,\) its length increases by \(5~\text{cm}. \) Another wire of the same material of length \(4L\) and radius \(4r \) is pulled by a force \(4F \) under the same conditions. The increase in length of this wire is:
