JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11- 8. mechanical properties of solids

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 \(10^{11} \,{Nm}^{-2}\) ))

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(7\)
Verified Solution

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 \(\left(\text { strain }=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}=\alpha \Delta T=10^{-5} \times 10=10^{-4}\right)\)…
