Four rods `A, B, C` and `1`) of the same length and material but of different radii `r, rsqrt(2),rsqrt(3)` and `2r`, respectively, are held between two rigid walls. The temperature of all rods is increased through the same range. If the rods do not bend, thenA. the stress in the rods `A, B, C` and `D` is in the ratio `1:2:3:4`B. the forces on them exerted by the wall are in the ratio `1:2:3:4`C. the energy stored in the rods due to elasticity is in the ratio `1:2:3:4 `D. it is independent of area like surface tension while friction depends

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
Thermal force `=Yaalphad theta=Ypir^(2)alphad theta`
`r_(1)=r, r_(2)=rsqrt(2), r_(3)=rsqrt(3), r_(4)=2r`
`F_(1):F_(2):F_(3):F_(4)=1:2:3:4`
Thermal stress `=Yalphad theta`
As `Y` and a are same for all the rods, hence stress developed in each rod will be the same. As strain `=alphad theta`, so strain will also be the same.
`E=` energy stored
`=1/2Y("strain")^(2)xxAxxL`
`:. E_(1):E_(2):E_(3):E_(4)=1:2:4`
so, option b and c are correct.
