Answer» HEY MATE,ACCORDING TO YOUR QUESTION, A steel WIRE hangs vertically under its own weight. If its density is 8000 kg/m³ and allowable stress is 2000 kg/cm² then how much length it can sustain. stress = 2000 kg/cm² , it is possible as you KNOW BASICALLY, unit of stress is N/m² . if I assume it is written as 2000g N/cm² . we know, stress = force applied/area for a steel wire which is HANGED vertically , force applied = weight = mg mass = VOLUME × density e.g., m = Vd = ALd [ where , A is cross sectional area and L is length ] now, stress = ALd/A = Lgd or, 2000g N/cm² = L × g × 8000kg/m³ [ given density , d = 8000 kg/m³ ] or, 2000 × 10⁴ = 8000L or, L = 2500 m
