Two rods of different materials having coefficient of linear expansion alpha_(1) and alpha_(2) and Young's modulus Y_(1) and Y_(2) respectively are fixed between two rigid walls. The rods are heated to same high temperature. If alpha_(1): alpha_(2) :: 2 : 3 the thermal stress in two rods is the same. Then the rate Y_(1)//Y_(2) is :

Answer»

`2/3`
`1/1`
`3/2`
`4/9`

SOLUTION :Here STRESS is same for the TWO
Now stress = Y `xx` strain
`thereforeY_(1)xxalpha_(1)xxt_(1)=Y_(2)xxalpha_(2)xxt_(2)`
But `t_(1)=t_(2)`
`thereforeY_(1)alpha_(1)=Y_(2)alpha_(2)` or `(Y_(1))/(Y_(2))=(alpha_(2))/(alpha_(2))=3/2`
Correct choice is (C).
