$A$ rod of uniform cross-sectional area $A$ and length $L$ has a weight $W$. It is suspended vertically from a fixed support. If Young's modulus for the rod is $Y$,then the elongation produced in the rod due to its own weight is:

  • A
    $\frac{W L}{Y A}$
  • B
    $\frac{W L}{2 Y A}$
  • C
    $\frac{W L}{4 Y A}$
  • D
    $\frac{3 W L}{4 Y A}$

$A$ block of weight $100 \ N$ is suspended by copper and steel wires of same cross-sectional area $0.5 \ cm^2$ and lengths $\sqrt{3} \ m$ and $1 \ m$,respectively. Their other ends are fixed on a ceiling as shown in the figure. The angles subtended by the copper and steel wires with the ceiling are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$,respectively. If the elongation in the copper wire is $\Delta \ell_C$ and the elongation in the steel wire is $\Delta \ell_S$,then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \ell_C}{\Delta \ell_S}$ is. . . . . .
