Wires W 1 and W 2 are made of same material having the breaking stress of 1 . 25 × 10 9 N m - 2 . W 1 and W 2 have cross-sectional area of 8 × 10 - 7 m 2 and 4 × 10 - 7 m 2 , respectively. Masses of 20 kg and 10 kg hang from them as shown in the figure. The maximum mass that can be placed in the pan without breaking the wires is _____ kg (Use g = 10 m s - 2

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

F 1 max =   stress   ×   area = 1 . 25 × 8 × 10 2 = 1000   N F 2 max = 500   N F 2 max = ( 10 + M ) g = 500   N M = 40   kg
