MCQ
Let a wire be suspended from the ceiling (rigid support) and stretched by a weight 4W attached at its free end. The longitudinal stress at any point of cross-sectional area 2A of the wire is:
  • A
    Zero
  • $\frac{2 W}{A}$
  • C
    $\frac{W}{A}$
  • D
    $\frac{W}{2A}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{2 W}{A}$
(B)
Stress $=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{T}{A}=\frac{4 W}{2 A}=\frac{2 W}{A}$
