In the figure a load W slides down the vertical steel bar and falls freely through the height h onto the collar fixed at the lower end of the bar. Neglecting losses and the masses of the bar and collar, determine (a) the maximum instantaneous stress in the bar (answer in MPa), (b) the maximum instantaneous extension of the bar (answer in mm) and (c) the strain energy stored in the bar at that instant (answer in J).
