Consider a steel rod of diameter 'd'. If the same rod is broken up into strands and arranged parallel to one another so as to form a new rod of the same diameter 'd' ,Which will have a higher load bearing capacity?. Instead of being arranged parallel , If they are made into a rope of similar diameter 'd' , Will the results still be the same?
Something related to this was taught in our class today and the teacher had said that the fiber one would have more strength but he did not elaborate.So I tried searching the internet but all could find was that ,if they are arranged in parallel,due to a reduction in area,they would be weaker than the solid one.But I am not sure whether this is correct as this was a random post answer and I couldn't find anything on the rope version of it.Please clarify this for me
Please give reasons as well.
Thank you
