A uniform rod of mass \(10~\text{kg}\) and length \(6~\text m\) is suspended vertically from the ceiling, as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of the rod is \(3~\text{mm}^2,\) and its Young’s modulus is \(2\times10^{11}~\text{N/m}^2.\) The extension in the length of the rod is: (take \(g=10~\text{m/s}^2\))
   
1. \(1~\text{mm}\)
2. \(0.5~\text{mm}\)
3. \(0.25~\text{mm}\)
4. \(1.2~\text{mm}\)

1. \(\mathit{\sigma}{=}\dfrac{{3}{B}{-}{2}{G}}{{2}{G}{+}{6}{B}}\)

2. \(\mathit{\sigma}{=}\dfrac{{6}{B}{+}{2}{G}}{{3}{B}{-}{2}{G}}\)

3. \(\mathit{\sigma}{=}\dfrac{9BG}{{3}{B}{+}{G}}\)

4. \({B}{=}\dfrac{{3}\mathit{\sigma}{-}{3}{G}}{{6}\mathit{\sigma}{+}{2}{G}}\)
