A metal wire of length $'L'$ is suspended vertically from a rigid support. When a body  of mass $M$ is attached to the lower end of wire, the elongation in wire is $'l'$, consider the following statements 

$(I)$  the loss of gravitational potential energy of mass $M$ is $Mgl$

$(II)$ the elastic potential energy stored in the wire is $Mgl$

$(III)$ the elastic potential energy stored in wire is $\frac{1}{2}\, Mg l$

$(IV)$ heat produced is $\frac{1}{2}\, Mg l$ 

Correct statement are :-

  • AOnly $I$
  • B$I$ and $II$
  • COnly $III$
  • D$I, III$ and $IV$
