temperature raised by ' \(\Delta \theta^{\prime} .\) The linear stress to prevent the expansion of rod is
(L and \(\ell\) is original length of rod and expansion respectively)

  1. A \(\mathrm{Y} \frac{\mathrm{L}}{\ell}\)
  2. B \(\frac{Y \propto}{\Delta \theta}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Y} \propto \Delta \theta\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Y}\left(\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{L}}\right)^{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Y} \propto \Delta \theta\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For thermal expansion
\(\Delta \mathrm{L}=\mathrm{L} \Delta \theta\)
If rod is compress by \(\Delta \mathrm{L}\) then
\(\begin{aligned}
\Delta \mathrm{L}=& \frac{\mathrm{FL}}{\mathrm{AY}} \\
\therefore \frac{\mathrm{FL}}{\mathrm{AY}} &=\mathrm{L} \propto \Delta \theta \quad \therefore \frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{Y} \propto \Delta \theta
\end{aligned}\)
