A mass of \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) is suspended by a string \(A\). Another string \(C\) is connected to its lower end as shown in figure. If a sudden jerk is given to \(C\), then

  1. A the mass will start rotating
  2. B the portion \(A B\) of the string will break
  3. C the portion \(B C\) of the string will break
  4. D None of the string will break
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) the portion \(B C\) of the string will break

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When a sudden jerk is given to \(C\), an impulsive tension exceeding the breaking tension develops in \(C\) first, which breaks before this impulse can reach \(A\) as a wave through block.
