Q3. A steel bar is 0.9 m long and 50 mm diameter. An axial hole 30 mm diameter is to be drilled from one end to such a depth that the extension of the drilled part is twice the extension of the solid part when an axial tensile load is applied. Calculate EACH of the following:

(a) The required depth of the drilled hole;

(b) The strain energy in the bar when an axial tensile load of 24 kN is applied.

Note: Modulus of Elasticity for steel is 210 GN/m².
