The breaking stress for a wire of radius r of given material is F N//m^(2) . The breaking stress for the wire of same material of radius 2r is:

Two blocks of masses 5 kg and 10 kg are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The breaking stress of the metal wire is 2xx10^(9)"N m"^(-2) . If g=10ms^(-2) , then what is the minimum radius of the wire which will not break

Figure shows a cubical block of side 10 cm and relative density 1.5 suspended by a wire of cross sectional area 10^(-6) m^(2) . The breaking stress of the wire is 7 xx 10^(6) N//m^(2) . The block is placed in a beaker of base area 200 cm^(2) and initially i.e. at t = 0, the top surface of water & the block coincide. There is a pump at the bottom corner which ejects 2 cm^(3) of water per sec. Find the time at which the wire will break.
