JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 1st September Evening Shift - No. 26)

A steel rod with y = 2.0 $$\times$$ 1011 Nm$$-$$2 and $$\alpha$$ = 10$$-$$5 $$^\circ$$C$$-$$1 of length 4 m and area of cross-section 10 cm2 is heated from 0$$^\circ$$C to 400$$^\circ$$C without being allowed to extend. The tension produced in the rod is x $$\times$$ 105 N where the value of x is ____________.
Answer
8

Explanation

Given, the Young's modulus of the steel rod, Y = 2 $$\times$$ 1011 Pa

Thermal coefficient of the steel rod, $$\alpha$$ = 10$$-$$5$$^\circ$$C

The length of the steel rod, l = 4 m

The area of the cross-section, A = 10 cm2

The temperature difference, $$\Delta$$T = 400$$^\circ$$C

As we know that,

Thermal strain = $$\alpha$$ $$\Delta$$T

Using the Hooke's law

Young's modulus (Y) = $${{Thermal\,stress} \over {Thermal\,strain}} = {{F/A} \over {\alpha \,\Delta \,T}}$$

Thermal stress, $$F = YA\,\alpha \,\Delta \,T$$

Substitute the values in the above equation, we get

$$F = 2 \times {10^{11}} \times 10 \times {10^{ - 4}} \times {10^{ - 5}} \times (400)$$

$$ = 8 \times {10^5}N$$

Comparing with, $$F = x \times {10^5}N$$

The value of the x = 8.
