A thick rope of density p and length L is hung from a rigid support. The increase in lens of the rope due to its own weight is (Y is the Young's modulus).

Answer»

`1/(4Y)pL^(2)g`
`1/(2Y)pL^(2)g`
`(pL^(2)g)/Y`
`(pLg)/Y`

SOLUTION :As the weight of WIRE acts at CENTRE of gravity.
`THEREFORE` Only half the length of wire gets extended.
Now Y`=F/A.((L//2))/(Deltal)rArrDeltal=(ALpgL)/(2AY)`
`thereforeDeltal=(pL^(2)g)/(2Y)`
So the correct choice is (B).
