Solution Summary
With good explanations and calculations, the problem is solved. The expert finds the instantaneous elongation in the bar.
Solution Preview
Mass of the falling body m = 336 kg
Distance of free fall h = 17.5 mm = 17.5/1000 m
Length of the bar l = 5.2 m
Area of cross-section of the bar A= 735 square mm = 735*10^(-6) sq. m
