Question

A cylindrical bar has a length ๐ฟ = 5 ๐‘š and cross section area ๐‘† = 10 ๐‘š2 . The bar is made of a linear elastic material with a density ฯ = 2700 kg/m3 and Youngโ€™s modulus E = 70 GPa. The bar is suspended as shown in the figure and is in a state of uniaxial tension due to its self-weight. The elastic strain energy stored in the bar equals _________ J. (Rounded off to two decimal places)

Take the acceleration due to gravity as ๐‘” = 9.8 m/s2 .
