The density and breaking stress of a wire are $6 \times 10^4 \ kg/m^3$ and $1.2 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$ respectively. The wire is suspended from a rigid support on a planet where acceleration due to gravity is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the value on the surface of Earth. The maximum length of the wire without breaking is ............ $m$ (take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ on Earth).

  • B
    $700$
  • C
    $800$
  • D

$A$ string of cross-sectional area $4 \times 10^{-6} \, m^{2}$ and length $0.5 \, m$ is connected to a rigid body of mass $2 \, kg$. The body is rotated in a vertical circular path of radius $0.5 \, m$. The body acquires a speed of $5 \, m/s$ at the bottom of the circular path. The strain produced in the string when the body is at the bottom of the circle is $\dots \times 10^{-5}$. (Use Young's modulus $Y = 10^{11} \, N/m^{2}$ and $g = 10 \, m/s^{2}$)
