Question
If the length of wire is reduced to half then it can hold the $\ldots \ldots \ldots .$ load.(A) Half(B) Same(C) Double(D) One fourth
Step 1
This is given by the formula: \[ F = \sigma A \] where \( F \) is the breaking force, \( \sigma \) is the stress (which is a property of the material and independent of its dimensions), and \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the wire. Show more…
