Q.

A metal cylinder of radius R is placed on a wooden plank BD. The plank is kept horizontal suspended with the help of two identical string AB and CD each of length L. The temperature coefficient of linear expansion of the cylinder and the strings are α1  and α2  respectively. Angle θ  shown in the figure is 300 . It was found that with change in temperature the center of the cylinder did not move. Then the ratio α1α2 is ? If it is know that L = 4R. Assume that change in value of θ  is negligible for small temperature changes.

Let change in temperature be  ΔT

Question Image


Length of a string changes by  ΔL=Lα2ΔT 
The wooden plank descends by  Δy=ΔLsinθ
Δy=2ΔL[sinθ=12]  
Change in radius of the ball:  ΔR=Rα1ΔT
The center of the ball will not move if  Δy=ΔR
2Lα2ΔT=Rα1ΔT8Rα2=Rα1α1α2=81
