A wire is suspended from the ceiling and stretched under the action of a weight \(F\) suspended from its other end. The force exerted by the ceiling on it is equal and opposite to the weight:
| (a) | Tensile stress at any cross-section \(A\) of the wire is \(F/A.\) |
| (b) | Tensile stress at any cross-section is zero. |
| (c) | Tensile stress at any cross-section \(A\) of the wire is \(2F/A.\) |
| (d) | Tension at any cross-section \(A\) of the wire is \(F.\) |
Choose the correct option from the given ones:
1. (a) and (b) only
2. (a) and (d) only
3. (b) and (c) only
4. (a) and (c) only
