Two wires $A$ and $B$ of same length,same radius and same Young's modulus are heated to the same range of temperatures. If the coefficient of linear expansion of $A$ is $\frac{3}{2}$ times that of $B$,then the ratio of the thermal stresses produced in the two wires $A$ and $B$ is

  • A
    $2: 3$
  • B
    $9: 4$
  • C
    $4: 9$
  • D
    $3: 2$

The force required to stretch a steel wire of $1\,cm^2$ cross-section to $1.1$ times its original length is $(Y = 2 \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2)$.

If Young's modulus for a material is zero,then the state of material should be

$A$ copper wire of length $2.4 \ m$ and an aluminum wire of length $0.7 \ m$, both having diameter $2 \ mm$, are connected end to end. When stretched by a load, the total elongation is found to be $0.6 \ mm$. The applied load is (Young's modulus of copper $= 1.2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and Young's modulus of aluminum $= 0.7 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$). (in $\pi \ N$)

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 $1.1 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ}C$).
