A rod of length $L$ at room temperature and uniform area of cross section $A$, is made of a metal having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha {/^o}C$. It is observed that an external compressive force $F$, is applied on each of its ends, prevents any change in the length of the rod, when it temperature rises by $\Delta \,TK$. Young’s modulus, $Y$, for this metal is

A copper wire of length $2.2 \;m$ and a steel wire of length $1.6\; m ,$ both of diameter $3.0 \;mm ,$ are connected end to end. When stretched by a load, the net elongation is found to be $0.70 \;mm$. Obtain the load applied in $N$.

A metal rod of cross-sectional area $10^{-4} \,m ^{2}$ is hanging in a chamber kept at $20^{\circ} C$ with a weight attached to its free end. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \,K ^{-1}$ and its Young's modulus is $4 \times 10^{12} \,N / m ^{2}$. When the temperature of the chamber is lowered to $T$, then a weight of $5000 \,N$ needs to be attached to the rod, so that its length is unchanged. Then, $T$ is ............ $^{\circ} C$
