When a tensile or compressive load 'P' is applied to rod or cable, its length changes. The change length x which, for an elastic material is proportional to the force Hook' law). P alpha x or P = kx The above equation is similar to the equation of spring. For a rod of length L , area A and young modulue Y . the extension x can be expressed as. x = (PL)/(AY) or P = (AY)/(x) , hence K = (AY)/(L) Thus rod or cables attached to lift can be treated as springs. The energy stored in rod is called strain energy & equal to (1)/(2)Px . The loads placed or dropped on the floor of lift cause stresses in the cable and can be evaluted by spring analogy. If the cable of lift cause stresses and load is placed dropped, then maximum extension in cable can be calculated by energy conservation. In above problem if mass of 10 kg falls on the massless collar attached to rod from the height of 99cm then maximum extension in the rod is equal (rod of length 4m, area 4cm^(2) and young modules 2 xx 10^(10)N//m^(2) g = 10m//sec^(2) )-
