The breaking stress for a substance is 1...

The breaking stress for a substance is `10^(6)N//m^(2)`. What length of the wire of this substance should be suspended verticaly so that the wire breaks under its own weight? (Given: density of material of the wire `=4xx10^(3)kg//m^(3)` and `g=10 ms^(-12))`

A

`10m`

B

`15m`

C

`25m`

D

`34m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Breaking stress`=("Maximum weight")/("Area of cross section")`
`10^(6)=(alrhog)/a=lrhog`
or `l=(10^(6))/(rhog)=(10^(6))/(4xx10^(3)xx100m=25m`
