The length of a rod is $20 \, cm$ and the area of cross-section is $2 \, cm^2$. The Young's modulus of the material of the rod is $1.4 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$. If the rod is compressed by a force of $5 \, kg-wt$ along its length,then the increase in the elastic potential energy of the rod in joules will be:

  • A
    $8.57 \times 10^{-6}$
  • B
    $22.5 \times 10^{-4}$
  • C
    $9.8 \times 10^{-5}$
  • D
    $45.0 \times 10^{-5}$
