A steel rod is clamped at its two ends and rests on a fixed horizontal base. The rod is unstrained at 20°C.
Find the longitudinal strain developed in the rod if the temperature rises to 50°C. Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 1.2 × 10–5 °C–1.

The longitudinal strain developed in the rod if the temperature rises to 50°C is  \bold{3.6 \times 10^{-4}}

Explanation:

Temperature at which rod rest without strain on a set horizontal base, T_1 = 20 °C. Then Heat the rod to temperature, T_2 = 50 °C

Therefore, the temperature changes,

\Delta T=T_2-T_1=30 ^{\circ}C

Linear expansion coefficient for steel, \alpha  = 1.2 \times  10^{-5} °C-1

Let L be the length of the heated rod, and let L ' be the length of the heated rod.

Let the longitudinal strain in the rod develop be S.

L^{\prime}=L(1+\alpha \Delta T)

\Delta L=L\Alpha \Delta T

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L}=\frac{L \alpha \Delta T}{L}=\alpha \Delta T

S =1.2 \times 10^{-5}\times (50-20)

=1.2 \times 10^{-5} \times 30

=36 \times 10^{-5}

S=3.6 \times 10^{-4}

The 3.6 \times 10^{-4} strain will be opposite to the expansion direction.
