The maximum possible height of a mountain on Earth is approximately (elastic limit of mountain rock $= 30 \times 10^7 \ N m^{-2}$,average density of mountain rock $= 3 \times 10^3 \ kg m^{-3}$,$g = 10 \ m s^{-2}$). (in $km$)

$A$ string $AB$ of unstretched length $L$ is stretched by applying a force $F$ at the mid-point $C$ such that the segments $AC$ and $BC$ make an angle $\theta$ with $AB$ as shown in the figure. The string may be considered as an elastic element with a force to elongation ratio $K$. The force $F$ is given by

$A$ uniform wire (Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} \, Nm^{-2}$) is subjected to a longitudinal tensile stress of $5 \times 10^7 \, Nm^{-2}$. If the overall volume change in the wire is $0.02\%$,the fractional decrease in the radius of the wire is close to:

If the breaking force for a given wire is $F$, then the breaking force of two wires of the same material and same dimensions joined together in parallel will be

$A$ body of mass $10 \ kg$ is attached to a wire of $0.3 \ m$ length. The breaking stress is $4.8 \times 10^7 \ N \ m^{-2}$. The area of cross-section of the wire is $10^{-6} \ m^2$. The maximum angular velocity with which it can be rotated in a horizontal circle is

To break a wire,a breaking stress of $10^6 \, N/m^2$ is required. If the density of the material is $3 \times 10^3 \, kg/m^3$,then the length of the wire which will break by its own weight will be......... $m$ (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)
