8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
hard
A uniform heavy rod of weight $10\, {kg} {ms}^{-2}$, crosssectional area $100\, {cm}^{2}$ and length $20\, {cm}$ is hanging from a fixed support. Young modulus of the material of the rod is $2 \times 10^{11} \,{Nm}^{-2}$. Neglecting the lateral contraction, find the elongation of rod due to its own weight. (In $\times 10^{-10} {m}$)
A
$0.2$
B
$0.05$
C
$0.04$
D
$5$

Solution

We know,
$\Delta \ell=\frac{{WL}}{2 {AY}}$
$\Delta \ell=\frac{10 \times 1}{2 \times 5} \times 100 \times 10^{-4} \times 2 \times 10^{11}$
$\Delta \ell=\frac{1}{2} \times 10^{-9}=5 \times 10^{-10}\, {m}$
