A cable breaks if stretched by more than 2mm. It is cut into two equal parts. By how much either part can be stretched without breaking?
Answer: 1mm
Explanation
If the original cable breaks at a stretch of 2 mm, each half will have half the length and thus half the maximum stretch:
Maximum stretch for half = 2 mm / 2 = 1 mm.
