A metal rod is fixed rigidly at two ends so as to prevent its thermal expansion. If L, $α$ and Y respectively denote the length of the rod, coefficient of linear thermal expansion and Young's modulus of its material, then for an increase in temperature of the rod by $∆$ T, the longitudinal stress developed in the rod is [AMU 2014]

Detailed Solution

$Strain = α \cdot ∆ T \Rightarrow Stress = α Y ∆ T$

where, L = length of the rod,
$α$ = coefficient of linear thermal expansion
and Y = Young's modulus of its material.
So, the longitudinal stress developed in the rod is independent of L
