A mass of 2 kg is suspended with thread AB. Thread CD of the same type is attached to the other end of 2 kg mass.
  • Lower end of the lower thread is pulled gradually, hander and hander is the downward direction so as to apply force on AB Which of the thread will break & why?
  • If the lower thread is pulled with a jerk, what happens?
