A uniform heavy rod of weight 10 {\kg} {\ms}^{-2}, cross-sectional area 100 {\cm}^{2} and length 20 {\cm} is hanging from a fixed support. Young's modulus of the material of the rod is 2 \times10^{11} {\Nm}^{-2}. Neglecting the lateral contraction, find the elongation of rod due to its own weight. [31 Aug 2021 Shift 1]
