Two separate wires A and B are stretched by \( 2 \, \text{mm} \) and \( 4 \, \text{mm} \) respectively, when they are subjected to a force of \( 2 \, \text{N}\). Assume that both the wires are made up of same material and the radius of wire B is \( 4 \) times that of the radius of wire A.
The length of the wires A and B are in the ratio of \( a : b \). Then \( \frac{a}{b} \) can be expressed as \( \frac{1}{x} \) where \( x \) is __________ .
