The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{v} \sqrt{2}$
$\begin{aligned} & v \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{T}} \\ & \mathrm{T} \propto \Delta \mathrm{l} \\ & v \propto \sqrt{\Delta \mathrm{l}}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{v}_2}{\mathrm{v}_1}=\sqrt{\frac{\Delta \mathrm{l}_2}{\Delta \mathrm{l}_1}}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{\mathrm{L}}{10}}{\mathrm{~L}}} \\ & \mathrm{v}_2=v \sqrt{2}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{v}_2}{\mathrm{v}_1}=\sqrt{\frac{\Delta \mathrm{l}_2}{\Delta \mathrm{l}_1}}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{\mathrm{L}}{10}}{\mathrm{~L}}} \\ & \mathrm{v}_2=v \sqrt{2}\end{aligned}$
