Two rods of different materials having coefficients of thermal expansion a 1, a 2 and Young’s modulii Y 1, Y 2 respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are temperature. There is no bending of the rods. If a 1 :a 2= 2:3, the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equal provided Y 1: Y 2 is equal to (a) 2:3 (b) 1:1 (c) 3:2 (d) 4:9

(c) ?l­ = la?T ? ?l/l = a?T

Stress = Y * strain

? Stress = Ya?T

For first rod stress = Y1a1?T

For first rod stress = Y1a1?T

For second rod stress = Y2a2?T

Since, stress are equal

? Y1a1?T = Y2a2?T

Or, Y1/Y2 = a2/a1 = 3/2
