$(a)$ A steel wire of mass $\mu $ per unit length with a circular cross section has a radius of $0.1\,cm$. The wire is of length $10\,m$ when measured lying horizontal and hangs from a hook on the wall. A mass of $25\, kg$ is hung from the free end of the wire. Assuming the wire to be uniform an lateral strains $< \,<$ longitudinal strains find the extension in the length of the wire. The density of steel is $7860\, kgm^{-3}$ and Young’s modulus $=2 \times 10^{11}\,Nm^{-2}$.
