Question
Two rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion α1  and α2 and Young’s modulus
Y1 and Y2 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
α1 : α2 = 2:3, the thermal stress developed in the two rods are equal provided Y1:Y2 equal to
Options:
A .  2 : 3
B .  4 : 9
C .  1 : 2
D .  3 : 2
Answer: Option D
:
D
From the formula for thermal stress
(F/A)1=α1y1T
(F/A)2=α2y2T
Since,temperature T is same
(FA)1(FA)2=α1y1α2y2
For thermal stress to be equal
α1y1=α2y2
ory1y2=α2α1=32 since α1α2=2:3)
