The density and breaking stress of a wire are $6 \times 10^4 \ kg/m^3$ and $1.2 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$ respectively. The wire is suspended from a rigid support on a planet where acceleration due to gravity is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the value on the surface of Earth. The maximum length of the wire without breaking is ............ $m$ (take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ on Earth).

To break a wire,a breaking stress of $10^6 \, N/m^2$ is required. If the density of the material is $3 \times 10^3 \, kg/m^3$,then the length of the wire which will break by its own weight will be......... $m$ (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

One end of a steel wire is fixed to the ceiling of an elevator moving up with an acceleration $2 \ m/s^2$ and a load of $10 \ kg$ hangs from the other end. If the cross-section of the wire is $2 \ cm^2$,then the longitudinal strain in the wire will be ($g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$).
