A copper wire and a steel wire of the same diameter and length are connected end to end and a force is applied, which stretches their combined length by $1\, cm$. The two wires will have
A wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular part (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross section area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slighly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just steps over the wheel.As it cools down to surronding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficint of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$, and its young's modulus is $Y$, the force that one part of wheel applies on the other part is
The temperature of a wire of length $1$ metre and area of cross-section $1\,c{m^2}$ is increased from $0°C$ to $100°C$. If the rod is not allowed to increase in length, the force required will be $(\alpha = {10^{ - 5}}/^\circ C$ and $Y = {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2})$
The load versus elongation graphs for four wires of same length and made of the same material are shown in the figure. The thinnest wire is represented by the line
A sphere contracts in volume by $0.01 \%$ when taken to the bottom of sea $1 \,km$ deep. Find Bulk modulus of the material of sphere ........... $N / m ^2$
A wire of length $50\, cm$ and cross sectional area of $1$ sq. mm is extended by $1\, mm.$ The required work will be $(Y = 2 \times {10^{10}}\,N{m^{ - 2}})$
The bulk modulus of a gas is defined as $B=-V d p / d V$. For an adiabatic process the variation of $B$ is proportional to $p^n$. For an ideal gas $n$ is
The area of cross-section of a railway track is $0.01\, {m}^{2}$. The temperature variation is $10^{\circ} {C}$. Coefficient of linear expansion of material of track is $10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} {C}$. The energy stored per meter in the track is ...... ${J} / {m} .$
(Young's modulus of material of track is $10^{11} \,{Nm}^{-2}$ ))
