The wires `A` and `B` shown in Fig. are made of the same material and have radii `r_(A)` and `r_(B)`, respectively. The block between them has a mass `m`. When the force `F` is `mg//3`, one of the wires breaks. Then

A

A will break before B is `r_(A)=r_(B)`

B

A will break before B is `r_(A)lt2r_(B)`

C

Either A or B may break if `r_(A)=2r_(B)`

D

The length of A and B must be known to predict which wire will break.

In the arrangement shown in the figure, mass of the block B and A is 2m and m respectively. Surface between B and floor is smooth. The block B is connected to the block C by means of a string-pulley system. If the whole system is released, then find the minimum value of mass of block C so that A remains stationary w.e.t. B. Coefficient of friction between A and B is mu.

A: Two wire A and B having equal cross sections made from the same material. The length of A is twice to the length of B, hence the increase in length of A is twice to the increase in length of B for a given same weight. R: Increase in length of wire proportional to its length for a given same length.
