A metallic rod 1 cm long with a square cross-section is
heated through 1°C. If Young's modulus of elasticity of
the metal is E and the mean coefficient of linear
expansion is alpha per degree Celsius, then the
compressional force required to prevent the rod from
expanding along its length is : (Neglect the change of cross
sectional area)

Question

Vikas TU · Answer

Thermal expansion in form of change in length l2 = l1(1+alpha*t) Young’s modulus = E E = (F/A)/(l/L) E = FL/Al L = l + del l E = F (l+del l )/A* del l Find the value of F F = EA(alpha *t)/(1+ alpha *t)
