The breaking strength of a cable of diameter 2 cm is 2 xx 10^(5) N. What will be the breaking strength of a wire of the same material but having diameter 1 cm ?

Answer»

`2 xx 10^(5)` N
`1xx10^(5)N`
`0.5xx10^(5)N`
`0.25xx10^(5)N`

Solution :Since AREA of cross-section has decreased by a factor of 4, the breaking strength becomes `1/4th` of its ORIGINAL value.
Correct choice is (C).
