The wires `A` and `B` shown in Fig. are made of the same material and have radii `r_(A)` and `r_(B)`, respectively. The block between them has a mass `m`. When the force `F` is `mg//3`, one of the wires breaks. Then

A

A will break before B if `r_(A) = r_(B)`.

B

A will break before B if `r_(A) lt 2r_(B)`.

C

Either a to B may break if `r_(A) = 2r_(B)`.

D

The lengths of A and B must be known to predict which wire will break.
