Example 12 A wire of length I and cross sectional area A is suspended at one of its ends from a ceiling What will be its strain energy due to its own weight if the density and Young s modulus of the material of the wire be d and Y Solution Consider an elemental length of the wire of length dx at a distance x from the lower end This length is acted upon by the external force equal to the weight of the portion of wire below foron E in x Ada la Cilibriu
