The elastic limit of a metal is \(\frac{400}{\pi} \mathrm{MPa}\). If a rod of this metal is to support a \(484 \mathrm{~N}\) load without exceeding its elastic limit, the minimum diameter of the rod is

  1. A \(2.2 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  2. B \(1.2 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  4. D \(1.6 \mathrm{~mm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2.2 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{A}} \Rightarrow \frac{400}{\pi} \times 10^6=\frac{484}{\pi \frac{\mathrm{d}^2}{4}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{d}^2=\frac{484 \times 4 \times \pi}{400 \pi \times 10^6} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{d}^2=4.84 \times 10^{-6} \\ &…
