This gives me headaches :cry: So I would appreciate some help.

A piece of spaghetti 5cm in length and 2mm in diameter has a weight of 0.2 gms. It will break under tension at a load of 5 kg (force). And its Euler buckling load is 500 gms (force). What length of this spaghetti could be suspended vertically from one end before it broke under its own weight?

What if the diameter were 4mm? ... If possible with calculations....

Thanks^^

i think it's physics. just cuz some of the stuff seemed familiar (it's been almost 5 years though... :sweat: )

but the post was in July...so i'm going to assume that she ended up figuring it out?
