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

\(=5 \times 10^{8} \times 10^{-4}=5 \times 10^{4}\)

\(20\,V ^{2}=5 \times 10^{4}\)

\(V=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4} 10^{4}}=50\,m / s\)
