What will happen if a rod is tied with fixed supports rigidly at both ends and its temperature is increased?

  • A
    The rod will expand freely.
  • B
    The rod will experience compressive stress and may bend.
  • C
    The rod will experience tensile stress.
  • D
    The length of the rod will remain constant without any stress.

When the temperature of a rod increases from $t$ to $(t + \Delta t)$,its moment of inertia increases from $I$ to $(I + \Delta I)$. If $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion of the rod,then the value of $(\frac{\Delta I}{I})$ is

The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $153 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and in a steel vessel is $144 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$, then the coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ for glass is:

Two metal plates $P$ and $Q$ of the same material are arranged as shown in the figure. If both the plates are uniformly heated through the same range of temperature,then

$A$ steel rod at $25^{\circ} C$ is observed to be $1 \ m$ long when measured by another metal scale which is correct at $0^{\circ} C$. The exact length of the steel rod at $0^{\circ} C$ is $(\alpha_{\text{steel}} = 12 \times 10^{-6} \ ^{\circ} C^{-1}, \alpha_{\text{metal}} = 20 \times 10^{-6} \ ^{\circ} C^{-1})$. (in $m$)
