Two rods of length and coefficient of linear expansion are connected freely to a third rod of length of coefficient of linear expansion to form an isosceles triangle. The arrangement is supported on the knife edge at the midpoint of which is horizontal. The apex of the isosceles triangle is to remain at a constant distance from the knife edge if
detailed solution
Correct option is D
The apex of the isosceles triangle to remain at a constant distance from the knife edge. Thus, DC should remain constant before and after heating. Before expansion: In triangle ADC(DC)2=L22-L122 (i)After expansion:(DC)2=[L2(1+α2t)]2-L12(1+α1t)2Equating Eqs. (i) and (ii), we getL22-L122=[L2(1+α2t)]2-L12(1+α1t)2 L22-L124=L22+L22×2α2×t-L124-L124×2α1×t (Neglecting higher terms)⇒L124(2α1t)=L22 (2α2t) ⇒L1L2=2α2α1Talk to our academic expert!
