An elevator cable can have a maximum stress of $7 \times 10^7\,N/m^2$ for appropriate safety factors. Its maximum upward acceleration is $1.5\,m/s^2$. If the cable has to support the total weight of $2000\,kg$ of a loaded elevator,the minimum area of cross-section of the cable should be ....... $cm^2$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.

$A$ string of length $0.314 \text{ m}$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2$ is connected to another string of length $B$ and Young's modulus both twice of those of $A$. This series combination of strings is then suspended from a rigid support and its free end is fixed to a load of mass $0.8 \text{ kg}$. The net change in length of the combination is . . . . . . $\text{mm}$. (radius of both the strings is $0.2 \text{ mm}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ m/s}^2$) (Mass of both strings is to be neglected as compared to the mass of load)

$A$ steel wire of diameter $2 \,mm$ has a breaking strength of $4 \times 10^5 \,N$. What is the breaking force in $\times 10^5 \,N$ for a similar steel wire of diameter $1.5 \,mm$?

Mark the wrong statement.

$A$ body of mass $10 \ kg$ is attached to a wire of $0.3 \ m$ length. The breaking stress is $4.8 \times 10^7 \ N \ m^{-2}$. The area of cross-section of the wire is $10^{-6} \ m^2$. The maximum angular velocity with which it can be rotated in a horizontal circle is
