A steel rail of length \(5\,m\) and area of cross-section \(40\,cm^2\) is prevented from expanding along its length while the temperature rises by \(10\,^oC\). If coefficient of linear expansion and Young's modulus of steel are \(1.2\times10^{-5}\, K^{-1}\) and \(2\times10^{11}\, Nm^{-2}\) respectively, the force developed in the rail is approximately
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(1\times10^5\, N\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(Young's\,modulus\)
\( = \frac{{Thermal\,stress}}{{Strain}} = \frac{{F/A}}{{\Delta L/L}}\)
\(Y = \frac{F}{{A.\alpha .\Delta \theta }}\)
\(\left( {\frac{{\Delta L}}{L} = \alpha \,\Delta \,\theta } \right)\)
Force developed in the rail \(F = YA\,\alpha \,\Delta t\)\( = 2 \times {10^{11}} \times 40 \times {10^{ - 4}} \times 1.2 \times {10^{ - 5}} \times 10\)
\( = 9.6 \times {10^4} = 1 \times {10^5}N\)
