Correct Answer - Option 3 : the same as before

CONCEPT:

  • Breaking Stress: It is also called ultimate tensile stress. It is the maximum stress a material can stand before it breaks.
  • Tensile stress:  The force applied along a rod divided by the cross-sectional area of the rod perpendicular to the applied force is called tensile stress.
    \(\rm Tensile \ stress = \dfrac{Force}{Cross \ section \ area}\)


EXPLANATION:

  • From the definition, it is clear that the breaking stress of a rod does not depend on its length. So,
  • If we half the length of the rod, the force required to break it will remain the same.
  • So it can bear the same load as before.
  • Hence the correct answer is option 3.
