Question
A bob of mass 10 kg is attached to wire 0.3 m long.  Its breaking stress is 4.8 × 107 Nm2.  The area of cross section of the wire is 106m2.  The maximum angular velocity with which it can be rotated in a horizontal circle
Options:
A .  8 rad/sec
B .  4 rad/sec
C .  2 rad/sec
D .  1 rad/sec
Answer: Option B
:
B
Centripental force = breaking force
m ω2 r = Breaking stress × cross sectional area
m ω2 r = p × A ω = p×Amr = 4.8×107×10610×0.3
ω = 4 rad/sec
