Analyzing +4 | -1
Two rods of copper and steel having same area of cross - section but different lengths l1l_{1} and l2l_{2} respectively are connected to each other. The combined length of two rods fits between two walls without any stress on walls. If α1\alpha_{1} and α2\alpha_{2} are their coefficient of linear expansion, Y1Y_{1} and Y2Y_{2} are their Young's modulus respectively, then (There is no buckling of rods while heating) With increase in temperature:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
combined length remains l1+l2l_{1}+l_{2} while length of one rod increases and that of other decreases
The combined length remains l1+l2l_{1}+l_{2} while length of one rod increases and that of other decreases because the system is constrained between two walls, leading to compressive stress in one rod and tensile stress in the other.
