Detailed Solution

Given,

$a = \frac{F_{0}}{m}$

$T = m_{x} a = (\frac{m}{l}) x (\frac{F_{0}}{m}) = (\frac{F_{0}}{l}) x$

$Δ l = \int_{0}^{L} \frac{Tdx}{SY}$

$Δ l = (\frac{F_{0}}{l SY}) \frac{l^{2}}{2}$

$Strain = \frac{∆ l}{l} = \frac{F_{0}}{2 SY}$

Hence the correct answer is $\frac{F_{0}}{2 SY} .$
