A rubber band can be stretched to twice its unstretched length before it breaks. If this rubber band is aligned along the x axis and then all parts of the rubber band are uniformly accelerated in the x direction with a constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s2, how long will it be before the rubber band breaks?
