A steel wire having a radius of `2.0mm`, carrying a load of `4kg`, is hanging from a celling. Given that `g=3.1pi ms^(-2)`, what will be the tensile stress that would be developed in the wire?

A

`3.1xx10^(6)Nm^(-2)`

B

`4.8xx10^(6)Nm^(-2)`

C

`5.2xx10^(6)Nm^(-2)`

D

`6.2xx10^(6)Nm^(-2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`"Stress"=("load")/("area")=(mg)/(pir^(2))`
`=(4xx3.1pi)/(pixx(2xx10^(-3))^(2))`
`=3.1xx10^(6)N//m^(2)`
