A mass of 1kg is suspended by a string A. Another string C is connected to its lower end (see figure). If a sudden jerk is given to C, then

A

The portion AB of the string will break

B

The portion BC of the string will break

C

None of the string will break

D

The mass will start rotating

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

When a sudden jerk is given to `C` , an impulsive tension exceeding the breaking tension develops in `C` first, which breaks before this impulse can reach `A` as a wave through block.
