    Converts into kinetic energy
  • B
    Converts into heat energy

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).

$A$ uniform wire (Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} \, Nm^{-2}$) is subjected to a longitudinal tensile stress of $5 \times 10^7 \, Nm^{-2}$. If the overall volume change in the wire is $0.02\%$,the fractional decrease in the radius of the wire is close to:

Two blocks of masses $1 \,kg$ and $2 \,kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley. The breaking stress of metal is $\frac{40}{3 \pi} \times 10^6 \,N m^{-2}$. What should be the minimum radius of the wire used if it should not break (in $mm$)? $(g = 10 \,m s^{-2})$
