Sangeeta took four different strings of cotton, wool, silk, and nylon. The length of each string is 60 cm, while the thickness of all strings is the same. Now, all strings are tied to the clamp in such a way that they hang freely from it (as shown in the figure). At the free end of each thread, a pan is suspended to place weights in it.
Sangeeta adds weights in each pan till the threads break. Which string requires the maximum weight to break?

The correct option is B Nylon
Nylon is a synthetic fibre. It is the strongest among the given fibres. The strength of this fibre is useful for making parachutes and ropes for climbing. In fact, a nylon thread is stronger than a steel wire. Hence, the nylon string will require the maximum weight to break.The correct answer is option b.
