$A$ steel wire having a radius of $2.0 \, mm$, carrying a load of $4 \, kg$, is hanging from a ceiling. Given that $g = 3.1\pi \, m/s^2$, what will be the tensile stress that would be developed in the wire?

  • A
    $6.2 \times 10^6 \, N/m^2$
  • B
    $4.8 \times 10^6 \, N/m^2$
  • C
    $5.2 \times 10^6 \, N/m^2$
  • D
    $3.1 \times 10^6 \, N/m^2$
