Question

A substance breaks down by a stress of $10^{6}\ Nm^{- 2}.$ If the density of the material of the wire is $3 	imes 10^{3}\ kgm^{- 3},$ then the length of the wire of that substance which will break under its own weight when suspended vertically is nearly

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

(b) $10^{6} = \frac{LAdg}{A}$
$	herefore\ \ L = \ \frac{10^{6}}{3 	imes 10^{3} 	imes 9.8}m = \ \frac{1000}{3 	imes 9.8} = 34.01m$
