    Answer: 4mm

    Explanation: From Hooke's law.

    Tensile force is directly proportional to the elongation

    That's

    F = k e , where k is constant

    F/e = k

    F1/e1 = F2/e2

    Where e1 = 2mm

    F2 = 2F1 (doubled)

    F1/2 = 2F1/e2

    1/2 = 2/e2

    e2 = 4mm

    Therefore when tension is doubled, the metal bar will be elongated by 4mm
