A thin rod having a length of \(1\; m\) and area of cross-section \(3 \times 10^{-6}\,m ^2\) is suspended vertically from one end. The rod is cooled from \(210^{\circ}\,C\) to \(160^{\circ}\,C\). After cooling, a mass \(M\) is attached at the lower end of the rod such that the length of rod again becomes \(1\,m\). Young's modulus and coefficient of linear expansion of the rod are \(2 \times 10^{11} Nm ^{-2}\) and \(2 \times 10^{-5} K ^{-1}\), respectively. The value of \(M\) is \(.......kg .\left(\right.\) Take \(\left.g=10\,m s ^{-2}\right)\)

  1. A \(60\)
  2. B \(59\)
  3. C \(58\)
  4. D \(57\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(60\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(\Delta l\) is decease in length of rod due to decease in temperature \(\Delta l=l \alpha \Delta T\) \(\alpha=2 \times 10^{-5}\,K ^{-1}, \Delta T =(210-160)=50\,K\) \(\Delta l=1 \times 2 \times 10^{-5} \times 50=10^{-3}\,m\)…
