The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the maximum value of mass \( M \) such that the wire does not break when two blocks of mass \( m \) and \( M \) are connected over a frictionless pulley. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Breaking Stress**: The breaking stress of the wire is given as \( 2 \times 10^9 \, \text{N/m}^2 \). Breaking stress is the maximum stress that the wire can withstand before breaking. 2. **Calculating Maximum Tension**: The maximum tension \( T_{\text{max}} \) in the wire can be calculated using the formula: \[ T_{\text{max}} = \text{Breaking Stress} \times \text{Area of Cross Section} \] Given: - Area of cross section \( A = 6.67 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}^2 \) - Breaking stress \( \sigma = 2 \times 10^9 \, \text{N/m}^2 \) Substituting the values: \[ T_{\text{max}} = 2 \times 10^9 \, \text{N/m}^2 \times 6.67 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}^2 = 13.34 \, \text{N} \] 3. **Setting Up the Equations of Motion**: For the block of mass \( M \): \[ M g - T = M a \quad \text{(1)} \] For the block of mass \( m \) (where \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \)): \[ T - m g = m a \quad \text{(2)} \] Here, \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). 4. **Substituting Values in Equation (2)**: Substituting \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \): \[ T - 1 \cdot 10 = 1 \cdot a \] Simplifying: \[ T - 10 = a \quad \text{(3)} \] 5. **Substituting Equation (3) into Equation (1)**: From equation (3), we can express \( a \): \[ a = T - 10 \] Substitute \( a \) in equation (1): \[ M g - T = M (T - 10) \] Expanding: \[ M g - T = M T - 10M \] Rearranging gives: \[ M g + 10M = T + M T \] Factoring out \( T \): \[ T(1 + M) = M g + 10M \] Thus: \[ T = \frac{M g + 10M}{1 + M} \] 6. **Setting \( T \) to Maximum Tension**: We know \( T \) cannot exceed \( T_{\text{max}} = 13.34 \, \text{N} \): \[ \frac{M g + 10M}{1 + M} \leq 13.34 \] Substituting \( g = 10 \): \[ \frac{M(10 + 10)}{1 + M} \leq 13.34 \] Simplifying: \[ \frac{20M}{1 + M} \leq 13.34 \] 7. **Cross Multiplying**: \[ 20M \leq 13.34(1 + M) \] Expanding: \[ 20M \leq 13.34 + 13.34M \] Rearranging gives: \[ 20M - 13.34M \leq 13.34 \] \[ 6.66M \leq 13.34 \] Thus: \[ M \leq \frac{13.34}{6.66} \approx 2 \, \text{kg} \] ### Conclusion: The maximum value of \( M \) for which the wire will not break is approximately \( 2 \, \text{kg} \).
