Q.

A metal block of mass m is suspended from a rigid support through a metal wire of diameter 14 mm. The tensile stress developed in the wire under equilibrium state is 7×105Nm-2. The value of mass m is ________ kg. (Take, g=9.8ms-2 and π=227)                [2023]

Tensile stress, σ=FA=4mgπD2

 m=πD2σ4g

           =227×(14×10-3)2×7×1054×9.8=11 kg
