Problem 2: A circular rod tapers in diameter from 50 mm from one end to 20 mmon theother end for a length of 12 m. it is attached to the ceiling with its bigger end and a load P= 85 kN is suspended at its lower end. The rod has E = 200 GPa. Compute the deformation of the rod due to this load. Neglect the weight of the bar.
