A steel wire having a radius of 2.0 m m , carrying a load of 4 k g , is hanging from a ceiling. Given that g = 3.1 π m s - 2 , what will be the tensile stress that would be developed in the wire?
Options
- A5.2 × 10 6 N m - 2
- B6.2 × 10 6 N m - 2
- C4 . 8 × 10 6 N m - 2
- D3.1 × 10 6 N m - 2
Correct answer
D. 3.1 × 10 6 N m - 2
Step-by-step solution
Stress = m g π r 2 = 4 × 3.1 × π π × 2 × 10 - 3 2 = 3.1 × 10 6 N / m 2
