To solve the problem of calculating the increase in length of a wire suspended vertically due to its own weight, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a wire of length \( L \), radius \( r \), weight \( W \), and Young's modulus \( Y \). The wire is suspended vertically, and we need to find the increase in length caused by its own weight. ### Step 2: Define the Variables - Let \( dx \) be an infinitesimal length of the wire at a distance \( x \) from the bottom. - The weight of the wire below this element \( dx \) will exert a force on it. ...
