Elongation in conical bar = AL/3AE.
Elongation in a Prismatic bar = PL/AE,
The ratio will be =1:3.

For conical bar = γ l^2/(6E).
Prismatic bar=γ l^2/(2E),
Ratio of above values =1/3.

@Durgesh.

Weight of conical bar is 1/3πrrh unit.
Weight of prismatic bar πrrh.

The solution for both beams when prismatic one carry additional load w with weight w.

Isn't there any difference between Y (γ) and W (weight)?

Raj said:   4 years ago
So which bar is more elongation? Please explain.

Monika said:   7 years ago
Y is weight density.

That is w = Y * volume.

(WL^2/6E)/(WL^2/2E) = 1/3.
