The area of cross-section of a railway track is \(0.01\, {m}^{2}\). The temperature variation is \(10^{\circ} {C}\). Coefficient of linear expansion of material of track is \(10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} {C}\). The energy stored per meter in the track is ...... \({J} / {m} .\) (Young's modulus of material of track is \(10^{11} \,{Nm}^{-2}\) ))
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Elastic energy \(=\frac{Y}{2}(\text { strain })^{2} \times\) Area \(\times\) length
Elastic energy per unit length \(=\frac{Y}{2}(\text { strain })^{2} \times\) Area
\(\left(\text { strain }=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}=\alpha \Delta T=10^{-5} \times 10=10^{-4}\right)\)
\(=\frac{10^{11}}{2} \times\left(10^{-4}\right)^{2} \times 10^{-2}=5\, {J} / {m}\)
