JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 10.1, thermonetry,thermal expansion and calorimetry

A steel rod with \({y}=2.0 \times 10^{11} \,{Nm}^{-2}\) and \(\alpha=10^{-5}{ }^{\circ} {C}^{-1}\) of length \(4\, {m}\) and area of cross-section \(10\, {cm}^{2}\) is heated from \(0^{\circ} {C}\) to \(400^{\circ} {C}\) without being allowed to extend. The tension produced in the rod is \({x} \times 10^{5} \, {N}\) where the value of \({x}\) is ....... .

  1. A \(8\)
  2. B \(80\)
  3. C \(0.8\)
  4. D \(85\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Thermal force \({F}={Ay}\alpha \Delta {T}\) \(F=\left(10 \times 10^{-4}\right)\left(2 \times 10^{11}\right)\left(10^{-5}\right)(400)\) \(F=8 \times 10^{5} {N}\) \(\Rightarrow {x}=8\)
