If the breaking force for a given wire is $F$, and the thickness of the wire is doubled, then the breaking force will be:

$A$ metal rod of cross-sectional area $10^{-4} \, m^{2}$ is hanging in a chamber kept at $20^{\circ} C$ with a weight attached to its free end. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \, K^{-1}$ and its Young's modulus is $4 \times 10^{12} \, N/m^{2}$. When the temperature of the chamber is lowered to $T$,a weight of $5000 \, N$ needs to be attached to the rod so that its length remains unchanged. Then,$T$ is ............ $^{\circ} C$.

Two blocks of masses $1 \, kg$ and $2 \, kg$ are connected by a metal wire going over a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The breaking stress of the metal is $2 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2$. What should be the minimum radius of the wire used if it is not to break? Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$.

Two strips of metal are riveted together at their ends by four rivets,each of diameter $6.0\; mm$. What is the maximum tension that can be exerted by the riveted strip if the shearing stress on the rivet is not to exceed $6.9 \times 10^{7}\; Pa$? Assume that each rivet is to carry one quarter of the load.
