Let a steel bar of length $l$,breadth $b$,and depth $d$ be loaded at the centre by a load $W$. Then the sag of bending of the beam is ($Y =$ Young's modulus of the material of steel).

  • A
    $\frac{W l^3}{2 b d^3 Y}$
  • B
    $\frac{W l^3}{4 b d^3 Y}$
  • C
    $\frac{W l^3}{2 d b^3 Y}$
  • D
    $\frac{W l^3}{4 d b^3 Y}$
