A wire can be broken by applying a load of 200 N. The force required to break another wire of the same length and same material, but double in diameter, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

800 N

Option D (800 N) is correct because the breaking force is proportional to the area, which is proportional to the square of the diameter.
