A steel wire of cross-sectional area 0.5 mm2 is held between two fixed supports. If the wire is just taut at 20°C, determine the tension when the temperature falls to 0°C. Coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 1.2 × 10–5 °C–1 and its Young's modulus is 2.0 × 10–11 Nm–2.

उत्तर
Given:
Cross-sectional area of the steel wire, A = 0.5 mm2 = 0.5 × 10–6 m2
The wire is taut at a temperature, T1 = 20 °C,
After this, the temperature is reduced to T2 = 0 °C
So, the change in temperature, Δθ = T1-T2 = 20 °C
Coefficient of linear expansion of steel, α = 1.2 ×10–5 °C-1
Young's modulus, γ = 2 ×1011 Nm-2
Let L be the initial length of the steel wire and L' be the length of the steel wire when temperature is reduced to 0°C.
Decrease in length due to compression, ΔL =L' - L = LαΔθ ...(1)
Let the tension applied be F.
`γ = "stress"/"strain" =("F"/"A")/((triangle"L")/"L")`
`=> γ = "F"/"A" xx "L"/(triangle"L")`
`=> triangle"L" = "FL"/("A"gamma)` ..(2)
Change in length due to tension produced is given by (1) and (2).
So, on equating (1) and (2), we get:
`"L"αΔθ ="FL"/("A"gamma)`
⇒ F = αΔθAγ
= 1.2 × 10-5 × (20-0) × 0.5 ×10-6 × 2 ×1011
= 1.2 × 20
⇒ F = 24 N
Therefore, the tension produced when the temperature falls to 0°C
