    One end of uniform wire of length L and of weight W is attached rigidly to a point in the roof and a weight \[{{W}_{1}}\] is suspended from its lower end. Ifs is the area of cross section of the wire, the stress in the wire at a height\[\left( \frac{3L}{4} \right)\] from its lower end is

    A) \[\frac{{{W}_{1}}}{s}\]

    B) \[\left[ {{W}_{1}}+\frac{W}{4} \right]s\]

    C) \[\left[ {{W}_{1}}+\frac{3W}{4} \right]/s\]

    D) \[\frac{{{W}_{1}}+W}{s}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Force \[=\text{ }weight\text{ }suspended+weight\text{ }of\text{ }\frac{3L}{4}of\text{ }wire\] \[{{W}_{1}}+\frac{3W}{4}\] \[Stress=\frac{force}{area}\]
