Question

If r is the density of the material of a wire and s the breaking stress, the greatest length of the wire that can hang freely without breaking is:

$\frac{2 σ}{ρ g}$
$\frac{ρ}{σ g}$
$\frac{ρ g}{2 σ}$
$\frac{σ}{ρ g}$

The correct answer is: $fraction numerator sigma over denominator rho g end fraction$

Maximum stress on the wire will be at the highest point (the point of suspension).
$text Stress end text equals fraction numerator text Weight end text over denominator text Area end text end fraction$ or $sigma equals fraction numerator A l rho g over denominator A end fraction$ or $l equals fraction numerator sigma over denominator rho g end fraction$
