A thick rope of density $\rho$ and length $L$ is hung from a rigid support. The Young's modulus of the material of rope is $Y$. The increase in length of the rope due to its own weight is
A$(1 / 4) \rho gL ^2 / Y$
B$(1 / 2) \rho g L ^2 / Y$
C$\rho g L ^2 / Y$
D$\rho g L / Y$

$\Delta \ell=\frac{ F ( L / 2)}{ AY }=\frac{( AL \rho g )( L / 2)}{ AY }$
$=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \rho g L ^2 / Y$

Let a wire be suspended from the ceiling (rigid support) and stretched by a weight $W$ attached at its free end. The longitudinal stress at any point of cross-sectional area $A$ of the wire is :
The upper end of a wire of diameter $12\,mm$ and length $1\,m$ is clamped and its other end is twisted through an angle of $30^{\circ}$. The angle of shear is$........^{\circ}$
