One end of a uniform rod of mass $m_1$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is hung from a ceiling. The other end of the rod is supporting a mass $m_2$. The stress at the midpoint of the rod is:

  • A
    $\frac{g(m_2 + 2m_1)}{2A}$
  • B
    $\frac{g(m_2 + m_1)}{2A}$
  • C
    $\frac{g(2m_2 + m_1)}{2A}$
  • D
    $\frac{g(m_2 + m_1)}{A}$
