A circular steel rod of length L and diameter d hangs and holds a weight W at its lower end. Taking into account the weight of the rod, what is the maximum stress sigma_max in the rod and where does it occur?

P(x) = W + (A*x*gamma) s.t. gamma is weight density of steel rod 

sigma(x) = (W/A) + (gamma*x)

Max stress occurs at x = L (where the rod is hanging from / the "roof") 

sigma_max = (W/A) + (gamma*L)
