A metal wire of density `rho` floats on water surface horozontally. If is NOT to sink in water, then maximum radius of wire is proportional to (where, T=surface tension of water, g=gravitational acceleration)

A

`sqrt((T)/(log ))`

B

`sqrt((pirhog)/(T))`

C

`(T)/(pirhog)`

D

`(pirhog)/(T)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`v_(c) =1/4 v_(e)`
`sqrt((GM)/((R+h)))=1/4 sqrt((2GM)/((R+h)))`
`(GM)/((R+h))=1/16 xx(2GM)/((R+h))`
`R +h =8(R)`
`R+h =8R`
`7R =h`
