Question
When a rod is heated but prevented from expanding, the stress developed is independent of
Options:
A .  material of the rod
B .  rise in temperature
C .  length of rod
D .  none of these
Answer: Option C
:
C
Lt=L0(1+αθ)
L=LtL0=L0αθ
If the same rod of lenghth L0 is subjected to stress along its length, then extension in length can be calculated by Hooke's law
Y=stressstrain=stressLLn
=L0×stressL
Therefore L=L0×stressY
If the rod is prevented from expanding, we have
Loαθ=Lo×stressY
Therefore stress=Yαθ= (independent of L0)
