$A$ vertical hanging bar of length $l$ and mass $m$ per unit length carries a load of mass $M$ at its lower end. Its upper end is clamped to a rigid support. The tensile stress at a distance $x$ from the support is (where $A$ is the area of cross-section of the bar):

  • A
    $\frac{Mg}{A}$
  • B
    $\frac{Mg + mg(l-x)}{A}$
  • C
    $\frac{Mg + mgl}{A}$
  • D
    $\frac{(M+m)gx}{Al}$
