Elastic Modulie
Question

A uniform metal rod of 2 mm2 cross-section is heated from 0 °C to 20°C. The coefficient of linear expansion of the rod is 12 x 10-6/ °C. Its Young's modulus of elasticity
is 1011 N /m2 . The energy stored per unit volume of the rod is:

Easy
Solution

Energy stored per unit volume 
=12×Y×(strain)2 =12×Y×(αθ)2 =12×1011×(12x10-6×20)2 =2880 J/m3.
