JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 27th August Evening Shift - No. 21)

Wires W1 and W2 are made of same material having the breaking stress of 1.25 $$\times$$ 109 N/m2. W1 and W2 have cross-sectional area of 8 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$7 m2 and 4 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$7 m2, respectively. Masses of 20 kg and 10 kg hang from them as shown in the figure. The maximum mass that can be placed in the pan without breaking the wires is ____________ kg. (Use g = 10 m/s2)

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 27th August Evening Shift Physics - Properties of Matter Question 155 English
Answer
40

Explanation

B.S1 = $${{{T_{1\max }}} \over {8 \times {{10}^{ - 7}}}}$$ $$\Rightarrow$$ T1 max = 8 $$\times$$ 1.25 $$\times$$ 100 = 1000 N

B.S2 = $${{{T_{2\max }}} \over {4 \times {{10}^{ - 7}}}}$$ $$\Rightarrow$$ T2 max = 4 $$\times$$ 1.25 $$\times$$ 100 = 500 N

m = $${{500 - 100} \over {10}} = 40$$ kg
