Bend in the form of an arc with the more expandable metal outside
Bends in the form of an arc with the more expandable metal inside
A rail track made of steel having length $10\,m$ is clamped on a railway line at its two ends as shown in figure. On a summer day due to rise in temperature by $20\,^oC$ , it is deformed as shown in figure. Find $x$ (displacement of the centre) if $\alpha _{steel} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \,^oC^{-1}$
If a cylinder of diameter $1.0\, cm$ at $30°C$ is to be solid into a hole of diameter $0.9997\, cm$ in a steel plate at the same temperature, then minimum required rise in the temperature of the plate is ........ $^oC$ (Coefficient of linear expansion of steel $ = 12 \times {10^{ - 6}}°C^{-1}$)
The diagram below shows the change in the length $X$ of a thin uniform wire caused by the application of stress $F$ at two different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$. The variation shown suggests that
Why the density is changed of solid substances by increase in temperature ?
Obtain coefficient of volume expansion from ideal gas equation.
