if S is the stress and Y is youngs modulus of the material of wire ,what is the energy stored in the wire per unit volume in terms of S and Y?PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL WITH DIAGRAM.

When a wire of original length L and area  of cross-section A is subjected to a deforming force F, the wire get elongated by L.
According to the Hook's law Y = stess/strain where stress =F/A and strain =​L/L. therfore 
Y =F/A /​(​L/L)
F=YA×LL
Now the work done 
dW=F.dL =​F=YA×LLdL now integrate the equation we get
W=dW=YALdLLW=YA/LLdL W=YAL22L=1×Y×(L/L)2×AL2=12×Y×(strain)2×volume of wire =1×stress×strain×volume of wire2dW=YALdLLW=YA/LLdL W=YAL22L=1×Y×(L/L)2×AL2=12×Y×(strain)2×volume of wire =1×stress×strain×volume of wire2
Elastic energy per unit volume =1/2 *stress * strain
