$A$ metallic rod breaks when the strain produced is $0.2 \%$. The Young's modulus of the material of the rod is $7 \times 10^9 \,N/m^2$. The area of cross-section required to support a load of $10^4 \,N$ is:

  • A
    $7.1 \times 10^{-6} \,m^2$
  • B
    $7.1 \times 10^{-4} \,m^2$
  • C
    $7.1 \times 10^{-2} \,m^2$
  • D
    $7.1 \times 10^{-8} \,m^2$
