Assume that the least load which would break a
thread when simply suspended from it is M and
that this load produces a strain of 1 percent at the
moment of breaking. Also assume that Hooke's
law applies to the thread right up to breaking point. A load of mass m is suspended from a thread of length l. It is raised to a height and
released. Find the least height to which the load
must be raised so that it will break the thread
when allowed to fall.
