A steel wire of length \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\) and area of crosssection \(1 \mathrm{~mm}^2\) is tied rigidly at both the ends. When the temperature of the wire is changed from \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), find the change in its tension. Given, the coefficient of linear expansion for steel is \(1.1 \times 10^{-5}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}\) and Young's modulus of steel is \(2.0 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\).

  1. A \(22 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(44 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(16 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(8 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(44 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Young's modulus of steel wire, \(Y=2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\) Length of wire, \(l=20 \mathrm{~cm}=0.2 \mathrm{~m}\) Area of cross-section, \(A=1 \mathrm{~mm}^2=10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^2\) Change in temperature of wire,…
