1. A steel rod is suspended vertically from one end and has a length of 100 m. If the diameter of the suspended rod is found to be 20 mm and the rod supports a tensile load which is equal to 18 kN at its free end. Determine the final length of the rod, use 7850 kg/cubic meter for the density of the rod and 200 GPa for the modulus of elasticity of steel.
