JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11- 8. mechanical properties of solids

A metal wire of length \(0.5 m\) and cross-sectional area \(10^{-4}\; m ^{2}\) has breaking stress \(5 \times 10^{8}\; Nm ^{-2}\). A block of \(10\; kg\) is attached at one end of the string and is rotating in a horizontal circle. The maximum linear velocity of block will be \(ms ^{-1}\).

  1. A \(49\)
  2. B \(48\)
  3. C \(46\)
  4. D \(50\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(50\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T =\frac{ mv ^{2}}{\ell}=\frac{10 \times v ^{2}}{0.5}=20\,v ^{2}\) \(T _{\max }=\) Breaking stress \(\times\) Area \(=5 \times 10^{8} \times 10^{-4}=5 \times 10^{4}\) \(20\,V ^{2}=5 \times 10^{4}\) \(V=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4} 10^{4}}=50\,m / s\)
