The hadronic properties of the \ensuremathρ meson produced in the inclusive photonuclear reaction have been investigated. The elementary reaction occurring in the nucleus is assumed as \ensuremathγN\ensuremath→\ensuremathρ0N. The \ensuremathρ meson, while propagating through the nucleus, interacts with the nuclear particles, and therefore the properties of the \ensuremathρ meson can be modified because of this interaction. Being a short-lived particle, the \ensuremathρ meson decays to various elementary particles, such as e+e^\ensuremath-, \ensuremathπ+\ensuremathπ^\ensuremath-,\ensuremath⋯, etc. The e+e^\ensuremath- invariant mass, i.e., the \ensuremathρ-meson mass, distribution spectra have been calculated to extract the information about the parameters, viz., mass and width, of the \ensuremathρ meson in the nucleus. The calculated results have been compared with the data reported from Jefferson Laboratory.
