Two wires \(A\) and \(B\) of same length, same radius and same Young's modulus are heated to same range of temperatures. If the coefficient of linear expansion of A is \(\frac{3}{2}\) times that of \(\mathrm{B}\), then the ratio of the thermal stresses produced in the two wires A and B is

  1. A \(2: 3\)
  2. B \(9: 4\)
  3. C \(4: 9\)
  4. D \(3: 2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Coefficient of Linear expansion of \(A=\alpha_A\) Coefficient of Linear expansion of \(B=\alpha_B\) \[ \alpha_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{3}{2} \alpha_{\mathrm{B}} \] Thermal stress is given as: \(\delta=\alpha \mathrm{Y} \Delta \mathrm{T}\) Ratio of thermal stress:…
