A wire has a breaking stress of 6 × 10 ^ 5 Nm^ - 2 ~and a density...
A wire has a breaking stress of ~and a density of~. The length of the wire of the same material~will break under its own weight if & is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Given: Breaking stress& .
Density~.
Stress is the ratio of force acting on a unit area of an object given as~.
We~know that force is given as~mass acceleration.
Thus, breaking stress~.
Since, density is stated as~, so~.
Putting in stress formula, we get~
Hence, the length of the wire is~.
