Question
A steel rod of length 1 m rests on a smooth horizontal base. If it is heated from 0°C to 100°C, what is the longitudinal strain developed?
Advertisements
Solution
The steel rod is resting on a horizontal base at 0 °C. When the temperature is increased to 100 °C, it will lead to an increase in the length of the steel due to expansion on heating. Since, there is no opposition in expansion of length, no longitudinal strain will be developed.
