A heavy mass is attached to a thin wire and is whirled in a vertical circle. The wire is most likely to break:

1. when the mass is at the highest point
2. when the mass is at the lowest point
3. when the wire is horizontal
4. at an angle of \(\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{3})\) from the upward vertical

The length of a metal wire is \(l_1\) when the tension in it is \(T_1\) and is \(l_2\) when the tension is \(T_2.\) The natural length of the wire is:
1. \(\frac{l_{1}+l_{2}}{2}\)

2. \(\sqrt{l_{1} l_{2}}\)

3. \(\frac{l_{1} T_{2}-l_{2} T_{1}}{T_{2}-T_{1}}\)

4. \(\frac{l_{1} T_{2}+l_{2} T_{1}}{T_{2}+T_{1}}\)

1. \(\frac{1}{8}\)
2. \(\frac{1}{4}\)
