NEET Physics Young's Modulus MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Hard-Class 11

What is the minimum area of cross-section required for a steel rope to safely lift a load of 10 tonnes, given the yield strength of mild steel is 300 × 10^6 N/m²?

A

3 × 10^-4 m²

B

0 × 10^-4 m²

C

5.0 × 10^-4 m²

D

0 × 10^-4 m²

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The minimum area of cross-section is calculated using the formula A ≥ W/σ_y. For a load of 10 tonnes (10,000 kg) and yield strength of mild steel, the area comes out to be 3.3 × 10^-4 m².
