Vedclass · Answer

(A) The length of the rod remains unchanged. This means the contraction due to cooling is equal to the elongation due to the hanging weight.Thermal strain = Strain caused by the weight$\alpha \Delta 	heta = \frac{\Delta l}{l}$Since Young's modulus $Y = \frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}$,we have $\frac{\Delta l}{l} = \frac{F}{YA}$.Substituting this into the thermal strain equation:$\alpha \Delta 	heta = \frac{F}{YA}$$\Delta 	heta = \frac{F}{YA \alpha}$Given $F = 5000 \, N$,$Y = 4 	imes 10^{12} \, N/m^{2}$,$A = 10^{-4} \, m^{2}$,and $\alpha = 2.5 	imes 10^{-6} \, K^{-1}$:$\Delta 	heta = \frac{5000}{4 	imes 10^{12} 	imes 10^{-4} 	imes 2.5 	imes 10^{-6}}$$\Delta 	heta = \frac{5000}{1000} = 5^{\circ} C$Since $\Delta 	heta = 20^{\circ} C - T = 5^{\circ} C$,we get $T = 15^{\circ} C$.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

$A$ steel wire of diameter $2 \,mm$ has a breaking strength of $4 \times 10^5 \,N$. What is the breaking force in $\times 10^5 \,N$ for a similar steel wire of diameter $1.5 \,mm$?

Mark the wrong statement.

To break a wire,a breaking stress of $10^6 \, N/m^2$ is required. If the density of the material is $3 \times 10^3 \, kg/m^3$,then the length of the wire which will break by its own weight will be......... $m$ (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)
