What would be the greatest length of a steel wire, which when fixed at one end can hang freely without breaking? Density of steel = 7800(kg)/m^3 Breaking stress of steel = 7.8 xx 10^8 N/M^2,g = 10m/s^2 |

Answer» Solution :Breaking STRESS = `(MG)/A = (ALDg)/A = Ldg` `therefore L = "Breaking dtress"/(DG) = (7.8 XX 10^8)/(7.8 xx 10^3 xx 10)` `10^4 m = 10km`. |
