8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium
Two rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion ${\alpha _1},\,{\alpha _2}$ and Young's moduli ${Y_1}$ and ${Y_2}$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If ${\alpha _1}:{\alpha _2} = 2:3$, the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equally provided ${Y_1}:{Y_2}$ is equal to
A
$2:3$
B
$1:1$
C
$3:2$
D
$4:9$
(IIT-1989)
Solution
(c) Thermal stress = $Y\alpha \Delta \theta $.
If thermal stress and rise in temperature are equal then
$Y \propto \frac{1}{\alpha }$ $\Rightarrow$ $\frac{{{Y_1}}}{{{Y_2}}} = \frac{{{\alpha _2}}}{{{\alpha _1}}} = \frac{3}{2}$
