Consider a rod of length $1.0 \ m$ with a cross-sectional area of $0.50 \ cm^2$. The rod supports a $500 \ kg$ platform that hangs attached to the rod's lower end. What is the elongation of the rod under the stress, ignoring the weight of the rod (in $mm$)? Consider Young's modulus to be $10^{11} \ Pa$ and $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.

$A$ uniform heavy rod of mass $20\,kg$,cross-sectional area $0.4\,m^{2}$,and length $20\,m$ is hanging from a fixed support. Neglecting the lateral contraction,the elongation in the rod due to its own weight is $x \times 10^{-9}\,m$. The value of $x$ is (Given: Young's modulus $Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^{2}$ and $g = 10\,m/s^{2}$)

If in case $A$,the elongation in a wire of length $L$ is $l$,then for the same wire,the elongation in case $B$ will be:
