Question

A vertical hanging bar of length L and weighing  w N/unit length carries a load W at the bottom. The tensile force in the bar at a distance y from the support will be given by                                        

         (a) W + wL                     (b) W+w(L–y)

         (c) (W +w)y/L                (d) $W+\frac{W}{W}(L-Y)$
