The breaking stress of the material of a...

The breaking stress of the material of a wire is `6xx10^(6)Nm^(-2)` Then density `rho` of the material is `3xx10^(3)kgm^(-3)`. If the wire is to break under its own weight, the length (in metre) of the wire made of that material should be (take `g=10ms^(-2)`)

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the length of the wire that will break under its own weight, given the breaking stress and density of the material. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Breaking Stress**: Breaking stress (\( \sigma \)) is defined as the force per unit area at which a material fails. It is given by the formula: \[ \sigma = \frac{F}{A} ...
