Questions  

Coefficients of linear expansion of two rods A and B are in the ratio 2 : 3. The rods are fixed between two rigid walls. If the young's modulii of the materials of the rod are in the ratio 2:1 and temperatures of the rods are increased by 15oC, the thermal stresses developed in the rods will be in the ratio

a
3 : 2
b
4 : 3
c
3 : 1
d
3 : 4

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Thermal stress σt=YαΔθ∴σtAσtB=YAYB.αAαB=2123=43
