Nice, Thanks @Deepak.

e = PL/AE.
So
0.1= (8000 * 100)/(A * 2000000).
A = (8000 *100) / ( 0.1*2000000).
A = 4 squre cm.
So
Side = √4 = 2 cm. Ans.

e = PL/AE.

Where,
e = extension in rod(0.1cm).
P = tensile load(8,000kg).
L = length of rod(100cm).
A = area of the x-section of rod(cm^2).
E = modulus of elasticity(2,000,000kg/cm^2).

Here x-section is a square so A=x^2.

Now x = square root(PL/eE).
x = [(8,000*100)/(.1*2,000,000)]^1/2.
x = 2cm.
