A uniform copper rod of length $50 \,cm$ and diameter $3.0 \,mm$ is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface at $20^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is $2.0 \times 10^{-5} \,K ^{-1}$ and Young's modulus is $1.2 \times 10^{11} \,N / m ^2$. The copper rod is heated to $100^{\circ} C$, then the tension developed in the copper rod is .......... $\times 10^3 \,N$
A
$12$
B
$36$
C
$18$
D
$0$
Solution
(d)
Since the rod is not bounded, No compressive stress hence no tensions
