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

`(W)/(4)`

B

`(W)/(2)`

C

W

D

2W

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c) `("Stress")_(1)=("Stress")_(2)`
Maximum load does not depend on the length.
The maximum load than can be supported by either part is W.
