A compressive force, $F$ is applied at the two ends of a long thin steel rod. It is heated, simultaneously, such that its temperature increases by $\Delta T$. The net change in its length is zero. Let $l$ be the length of the rod, $A$ its area of cross- section, $Y$ its Young's modulus, and $\alpha $ its coefficient of linear expansion. Then, $F$ is equal to
A${l^2}\,Y\alpha \Delta T$
B$lA\,Y\alpha \Delta T$
C$A\,Y\alpha \Delta T$
D$\frac{{AY}}{{\alpha \Delta T}}$

What must be the lengths of steel and copper rods at $0^o C$ for the difference in their lengths to be $10\,cm$ at any common temperature? $(\alpha_{steel}=1.2 \times {10^{-5}} \;^o C^{-1})$ and $(\alpha_{copper} = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \;^o C^{-1})$
The following four wires of length $L$ and radius $r$ are made of the same material. Which of these will have the largest extension, when the same tension is applied?
A steel rod of length $\ell$, cross sectional area $A$, young's modulus of elasticity $Y$, and thermal coefficient of linear expansion $'a'$ is heated so that its temperature increases by $t\,^oC$. Work that can be done by rod on heating will be
