A uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus $Y$  and has a normal, unextended length $L.$ The radii, at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire, have values $R$ and $3R,$  respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass $M$ is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length, of this wire, would equal 
  • A$L\left( {1 + \frac{2}{9}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
  • B$L\left( {1 + \frac{1}{9}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
  • C$L\left( {1 + \frac{1}{3}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
  • D$L\left( {1 + \frac{2}{3}\frac{{Mg}}{{\pi Y{R^2}}}} \right)$
