10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
medium
A rod of length $l$ and radius $r$ is held between two rigid walls so that it is not allowed to expand. If its temperature is increased, then the force developed in it is proportional to .........
A
$L$
B
$1 / L$
C
$r^2$
D
$r^{-2}$
Solution

(c)
$(\Delta L)$ Thermal expansion $=L \propto \Delta Q$
Where $L=$ Length original
$\propto=$ Coeffcient of linear expansion
$\Delta Q=$ Change in temperature
Or we can say
$\Delta L \propto L$
And force required to produce similar elongation can be calculated by $F=A Y \cdot \frac{\Delta L}{L} \quad[\because Y$ is constant $]$
So $F \propto r^2 \cdot \frac{\Delta L}{L}$
Also $\Delta L \propto L$
So $F$ only proportional to $r^2$
