A uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus Y and has a normal, unextended length L. The radii, at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire, have values Rand 3R, respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass M is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length, of this wire, would equal: 

A. \[L\left( 1+\frac{2}{9}\frac{Mg}{\pi Y{{R}^{2}}} \right)\]
B. \[L\left( 1+\frac{1}{9}\frac{Mg}{\pi Y{{R}^{2}}} \right)\]
C. \[L\left( 1+\frac{1}{3}\frac{Mg}{\pi Y{{R}^{2}}} \right)\]
D. \[L\left( 1+\frac{2}{3}\frac{Mg}{\pi Y{{R}^{2}}} \right)\]
Answer» D. \[L\left( 1+\frac{2}{3}\frac{Mg}{\pi Y{{R}^{2}}} \right)\]
