Question

The pressure that has to be applied to the ends of a steel rod of length 10 cm to keep its length constant when its temperature is raised by 100oC is :
(For steel Young′s modulus is 2 × 1011 Nm-2 and coefficient of thermal expansion is 1.1 × 10-5 K-1)

Options

A.2.2 × 108 Pa
B.2.2 × 109 Pa
C.2.2 × 107 Pa
D.2.2 × 106 Pa

Solution

As length is constant,
Strain = = αᐃQ
Now pressure = stress = Y × strain
      = 2 × 1011 × 1.1 × 10-5 × 100
      = 2.2 × 108 Pa
