Answer We assume that the rod is held by a clamp at one end, and the force $F$ is applied at the other end, parallel to the length of the rod. Then the stress on the rod is given by
$\text { Stress } =\frac{F}{A}=\frac{F}{\pi r^{2}}$
$=\frac{100 \times 10^{3} N }{3.14 \times\left(10^{-2} m \right)^{2}}$
$=3.18 \times 10^{8} N m ^{-2}$
The elongation,
$\Delta L=\frac{(F / A) L}{Y}$
$=\frac{\left(3.18 \times 10^{8} N m ^{-2}\right)(1 m )}{2 \times 10^{11} N m ^{-2}}$
$=1.59 \times 10^{-3} m$
$=1.59 mm$
The strain is given by
$\text { Strain } =\Delta L / L$
$=\left(1.59 \times 10^{-3} m \right) /(1 m )$
$=1.59 \times 10^{-3}$
$=0.16 \%$
