The breaking stress of a wire going over a smooth pulley is $2 \times 10^9\, N/m^2$. What would be the minimum radius of the wire used if it is not to break? (Assume $g = 10\, m/s^2$)

  • A
    $0.46 \times 10^{-6}\, m$
  • B
    $0.46 \times 10^{-4}\, m$
  • C
    $0.46 \times 10^{8}\, m$
  • D
    $0.46 \times 10^{-11}\, m$
