A simple pendulum is made with a thin wire (length: l, area: A, Young's modulus: Y) attached to a heavy bob of mass M. The pendulum is released from the rest with the bob at the same level as the point of suspension and swings down in a circular arc. The elongation in the wire when the bob reaches the lowest point is: 
1. 3MglAY 2. 2MglAY
3. 3Mgl2AY 4. MglAY
