$A$ wire of density $3 \times 10^3 \, kg/m^3$ requires a breaking stress of $10^6 \, N/m^2$ to break. What should be the length of the wire so that it breaks under its own weight? (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

Match the following:
Column $I$Column $II$
$A$. Hooke's law$1$. Tangential strain
$B$. Shearing strain$2$. Temporary loss of elastic property
$C$. Bulk strain$3$. Elastic limit
$D$. Elastic fatigue$4$. $3$ times the linear strain

The density and breaking stress of a wire are $6 \times 10^4 \ kg/m^3$ and $1.2 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$ respectively. The wire is suspended from a rigid support on a planet where acceleration due to gravity is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the value on the surface of Earth. The maximum length of the wire without breaking is ............ $m$ (take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ on Earth).

$A$ body of mass $10 \, kg$ is attached to the end of a wire of length $0.3 \, m$. If the breaking stress of the wire is $4.8 \times 10^7 \, N/m^2$ and its cross-sectional area is $10^{-6} \, m^2$,what is the maximum angular velocity in $rad/sec$ with which it can be rotated in a horizontal plane without breaking the wire?

$A$ rod of length $1.05 \; m$ having negligible mass is supported at its ends by two wires of steel (wire $A$) and aluminium (wire $B$) of equal lengths as shown in Figure. The cross-sectional areas of wires $A$ and $B$ are $1.0 \; mm^{2}$ and $2.0 \; mm^{2}$ respectively. At what point along the rod should a mass $m$ be suspended in order to produce $(a)$ equal stresses and $(b)$ equal strains in both steel and aluminium wires?
