View Solution

Wires $W_{1}$ and $W_{2}$ are made of the same material having a breaking stress of $1.25 \times 10^{9} \, N/m^{2}$. $W_{1}$ and $W_{2}$ have cross-sectional areas of $8 \times 10^{-7} \, m^{2}$ and $4 \times 10^{-7} \, m^{2}$,respectively. Masses of $20 \, kg$ and $10 \, kg$ hang from them as shown in the figure. The maximum mass $m$ that can be placed in the pan without breaking the wires is $..... \, kg$. (Use $g = 10 \, m/s^{2}$)
