The maximum load that a wire can sustain is W. If the wire is cut to half its value, the maximum load it can sustain is

A

be double

B

be half

C

be four times

D

remain same

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

D

Breaking force `prop A`
Braking stress is a constant for a given material and it does not depedning upont length or thickness of wire.
