$A$ 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 $g = 10\,m/s^{2}$)
