उत्तर
\[F_1 = 500\text{N}\]
\[\text{ Let the required breaking force on the 2 cm wire be F .} \]
\[\text{ Breaking stress in 1 cm wire }= \frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{500}{\pi \left( \frac{0 . 01}{2} \right)^2}\]
\[\text{ Breaking stress in 2 cm wire }= \frac{F_2}{A_2} = \frac{F_2}{\pi \left( \frac{0 . 02}{2} \right)^2}\]
\[\text{ The breaking stress is the same for a material }. \]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{500}{\pi \left( \frac{0 . 01}{2} \right)^2} = \frac{F_2}{\pi \left( \frac{0 . 02}{2} \right)^2}\]
\[ = > F_2 = 2000\text{N}\]
