$A$ uniform cylindrical rod of length $L$ and radius $r$ is made from a material whose Young's modulus of elasticity equals $Y$. When this rod is heated by temperature $T$ and simultaneously subjected to a net longitudinal compressional force $F$,its length remains unchanged. The coefficient of volume expansion of the material of the rod is (nearly) equal to:

  • A
    $9F / (\pi r^2 YT)$
  • B
    $F / (3\pi r^2 YT)$
  • C
    $3F / (\pi r^2 YT)$
  • D
    $6F / (\pi r^2 YT)$

$A$ steel rod of diameter $1\,cm$ is clamped firmly at each end when its temperature is $25\,^{\circ}C$ so that it cannot contract on cooling. The tension in the rod at $0\,^{\circ}C$ is approximately ......... $N$ $(\alpha = 10^{-5}/\,^{\circ}C, Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$

There are two wires of the same material and same length. If the diameter of the second wire is two times the diameter of the first wire,then the ratio of the extension produced in the wires by applying the same load will be:

There is some change in length when a $33000 \,N$ tensile force is applied on a steel rod of area of cross-section $10^{-3} \,m^2$. The change of temperature required to produce the same elongation, if the steel rod is heated, is (The modulus of elasticity is $3 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and the coefficient of linear expansion of steel is $1.1 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ}C$). (in $^{\circ}C$)

Two steel wires of same length $L$ but radii $r$ and $2r$ are connected together end to end and tied to a wall as shown. The force $F$ stretches the combination by $10 \ mm$. How far does the junction point $A$ move (in $mm$)?
