To break a wire, a force of $10^{6} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ is required. If the density of the material is $3 \times 10^{3} \text{ kg} / \text{m}^{3}$ , then the length of the wire which will break by its own weight will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
$L = \frac{P}{dg} = \frac{6}{3 \times 10^{3} \times 10} = \frac{100}{3} = 34m$
