Thermal expansion
Question

The magnitude of force developed by raising the temperature from 0oCto100oC of an iron bar 1m long and of 1 cm2 cross section when it is held between two rigid walls so that it is not permitted to expand is α=105/oCandY=1011N/m2

Moderate
Solution

Induced compressive force =Thermal stress X cross section 

F=.ΔθS=1011×105×100×104N=104N
