Q. 26 A mass of 2 kg is suspended with thread AB (figure). Thread CD of the same type is attached to the other end of 2 kg mass. The lower thread is pulled gradually, harder and harder in the downward direction, so as to apply force on AB. Which of the threads will break and why?
The thread AB will break earlier than the thread CD. This is because forces acting on thread CD = applied force and force acting on thread AB (applied force + weight of 2 kg mass). Hence, the force acting on thread AB is Érger than the force acting on thread CD.
