A long, slender bar in the shape of a right circular cone with length L and base diameter d hangs

Question:

A long, slender bar in the shape of a right circular cone with length L and base diameter d hangs vertically under the action of its own weight (see figure). The weight of the cone is W and the modulus of elasticity of the material is E.
Derive a formula for the increase δ in the length of the bar due to its own weight. (Assume that the angle of taper of the cone is small.)
