A wire of length 0.5 m and area of cross-section \(4 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^2\) at a temperature of \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is suspended vertically by fixing its upper end to the ceiling. The wire is then cooled to \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), but is prevented from contracting, by attaching a mass at the lower end. If the mass of the wire is negligible, then the value of the mass attached to the wire is
[Young's modulus of material of the wire \(=10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\); coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the wire \(=10^{-5} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) and acceleration due to gravity \(\left.=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\right]\)
- A 10 kg
- B 20 kg
- C 30 kg
- D 40 kg
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 40 kg
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Strain due to temperature change: \(\Delta L / L = \alpha \Delta T\) Stress required: \(\sigma = Y (\alpha \Delta T)\) Force required: \(F = \sigma A = Y \alpha \Delta T A\) Mass attached: \(m = F/g = (Y \alpha \Delta T A) / g\)…
