To find the value of \( \alpha \) in the expression for the strain energy of a wire due to its own weight, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a wire of length \( L \) and cross-sectional area \( A \) suspended from one end. The density of the wire is \( \rho \) and its Young's modulus is \( Y \). We need to find the value of \( \alpha \) in the expression for the strain energy due to the wire's own weight, given as: \[ \text{Strain Energy} = \frac{\rho^2 g^2 A L^3}{\alpha Y} \] ...
