Question

A rod of mass m, uniform cross sectional area A and length L is accelerated by applying force F asshown in figure on a smooth surface. If Young′s modulus of elasticity of the material of rod is Y.(Consider x as measured from the right end)
  

Options

A.Tension in rod as a function of distance x is
B.Strain in rod is
C.Elastic potential energy stored in the rod is
D.There is no stress in rod.

Solution

   
at any distance x from edge let there be a cross section for which FBD is given:
for complete rod : ma = F ⇒ a =   ...(1)
for portion BC : mBC a = T ⇒ T = a ; T = x ⇒ stress = ⇒
(C)
(D) Energy stored = x2 dx A =
