$A$ uniform heavy rod of weight $10 \, N$,cross-sectional area $100 \, \text{cm}^2$ and length $20 \, \text{cm}$ is hanging from a fixed support. The Young's modulus of the material of the rod is $2 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2$. Neglecting the lateral contraction,find the elongation of the rod due to its own weight. (In $\times 10^{-10} \, \text{m}$)

  • A

  • B
    $0.05$
  • C
    $0.04$
  • D
