If the breaking stress of a wire is $3.18 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$,what should be its minimum radius so that the wire does not break? (Refer to the figure for the masses attached to the pulley system,assume $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

$A$ metal rod of cross-sectional area $10^{-4} \, m^{2}$ is hanging in a chamber kept at $20^{\circ} C$ with a weight attached to its free end. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \, K^{-1}$ and its Young's modulus is $4 \times 10^{12} \, N/m^{2}$. When the temperature of the chamber is lowered to $T$,a weight of $5000 \, N$ needs to be attached to the rod so that its length remains unchanged. Then,$T$ is ............ $^{\circ} C$.

What is the tangential stress on the cross-section $PQRS$?
