A simple pendulum is made with a thin wire (length: \(l,\) area: \(A,\) Young's modulus: \(Y\)) attached to a heavy bob of mass \(M.\) The pendulum is released from the rest with the bob at the same level as the point of suspension and swings down in a circular arc. The elongation in the wire when the bob reaches the lowest point is: 
1. \(\dfrac{3 M g l}{A Y}\) 2. \(\dfrac{2 M g l}{A Y}\)
3. \(\dfrac{3 M g l}{2 A Y}\) 4. \(\dfrac{M g l}{A Y}\)
