(A) The stress in the wire is given by $	ext{Stress} = \frac{	ext{Tension}}{	ext{Area of cross-section}}$.To avoid breaking,the stress in the wire must not exceed the breaking stress.Let the tension in the wire be $T$ and the acceleration of the system be $a$.The equations of motion for the two blocks are:For the $1 ~kg$ block: $T - 1(10) = 1a \implies T - 10 = a$For the $2 ~kg$ block: $2(10) - T = 2a \implies 20 - T = 2a$Adding the two equations: $(T - 10) + (20 - T) = a + 2a \implies 10 = 3a \implies a = \frac{10}{3} ~m/s^2$.Substituting $a$ into the first equation: $T = 10 + \frac{10}{3} = \frac{40}{3} ~N$.The area of cross-section of the wire is $A = \pi r^2$.The stress is $\frac{T}{A} = \frac{40/3}{\pi r^2}$.Equating this to the breaking stress: $\frac{40/3}{\pi r^2} = 2 	imes 10^9$.$r^2 = \frac{40}{3 	imes \pi 	imes 2 	imes 10^9} = \frac{20}{3 \pi 	imes 10^9} \approx \frac{20}{9.4247 	imes 10^9} \approx 2.122 	imes 10^{-9} ~m^2$.$r = \sqrt{2.122 	imes 10^{-9}} \approx 4.606 	imes 10^{-5} ~m$.

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 $g = 10 ~m/s^2$.
