Q 1 :

Consider a rectangular sheet of solid material of length l = 9 cm and width d = 4 cm. The coefficient of linear expansion is α=3.1×105 K1 at room temperature and one atmospheric pressure. The mass of sheet m = 0.1 kg and the specific heat capacity Cv=900 J kg1 K1. If the amount of heat supplied to the material is 8.1×102 J then change in area of the rectangular sheet is:          [2025]

  • 2.0×106 m2

     

  • 3.0×107 m2

     

  • 6.0×107 m2

     

  • 4.0×107 m2

8.1×102=900×0.1×T  T=9K

A=A·2αT

             =36×2×3.1×105×9×104=2×106 m2

 



Q 2 :

A hole is drilled in a metal sheet. At 27°C, the diameter of the hole is 5 cm. When the sheet is heated to 177°C, the change in the diameter of the hole is d×10-3 cm. The value of d will be _______ if the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is 1.6×10-5/°C.                      [2023]



(12)

d0 at 27°C and d1 at 177°C

d1=d0(1+αΔT)

(d1-d0)=5×1.6×10-5×150 cm=12×10-3 cm



Q 3 :

A thin rod having a length of 1 m and area of cross-section 3×10-6 m2 is suspended vertically from one end. The rod is cooled from 210°C to 160°C. After cooling, a mass M is attached at the lower end of the rod such that the length of the rod again becomes 1 m. Young's modulus and coefficient of linear expansion of the rod are 2×1011 Nm-2 and 2×10-5 K-1, respectively. The value of M is ______ kg.  (Take g=10 ms-2)                   [2023]

If Δl is decrease in length of rod due to decrease in temperature

Δl=lαΔT

α=2×10-5 K-1

ΔT=(210-160)=50 K

Δl=1×2×10-5×50=10-3 m

Young's Modulus =Y=F/AΔl/l,  A=3×10-6 m2

2×1011=Mg/3×10-610-3/1

Mg=2×1011×3×10-9=6×10-2

 M=60 kg
