The Young's modulus of a rubber string $8\, cm$ long and density $1.5\, kg/m^3$ is $5 \times 10^8\, N/m^2$. If it is suspended from the ceiling in a room,the increase in length due to its own weight will be:

  • A
    $9.6 \times 10^{-5}\, m$
  • B
    $9.6 \times 10^{-11}\, m$
  • C
    $9.6 \times 10^{-3}\, m$
  • D
    $9.6\, m$
