 A uniform metal rod of  $2\,\,mm^2$ cross section fixed between two walls is heated from $0\,^oC$ to $20\,^oC$ . The coefficient of linear expansion of rod is $12\,\,\times\,\,10^{-6}\,/^oC$ . Its Young's modulus of elasticity is $10^{11}\,\,N/m^2$ . The energy stored per unit volume of rod will be  ....... $J/m^3$

A

$2880$

B

$1500$

C

$5760$

D

$1440$

Solution

Energy per unit volume $=\frac{1}{2} \times \mathrm{Y} \times(\text { strain })^{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times \mathrm{Y} \times(\alpha \Delta \theta)^{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 10^{11} \times\left(12 \times 10^{-6} \times 20\right)^{2}=2880 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$
