Q.

A steel rod of length 1 m and cross-sectional area 10-4 m2 is heated from 0°C to 200°C without being allowed to extend or bend. The compressive tension produced in the rod is _______ ×104 N. (Given Young's modulus of steel =2×1011 Nm-2, coefficient of linear expansion =10-5 K-1)             [2023]


Ans.

(4)

Stress=Y×strain

Stress=Y×Δll=Y×lαΔTl=YαΔT

Compressive Tension=Stress×Area of cross section

                                            =YAαΔT=4×104 N
