The system shown is figure consists of `3` springs and two rods. If the temperature of the rod is increased by `DeltaT`, then the total energy stored in three springs is `beta xx (99)/(484)kL^(2)alpha^(2)(DeltaT)^(2)`. Determine the value of `beta`. The spring are initially relaxed and there is no friction anywhere. For rod the coefficient of linear expansion is `alpha`

Verified by Experts

Let `x_(1)`, `x_(2)` and `x_(3)` be the compressions in the three springs, then
`x_(1)+x_(2)+x_(3)=LalphaDeltaT+(L)/(2)alphaDeltaT=(3)/(2)LalphaDeltaT` ………..`(1)`
Considering the F.B.D.s of the rod requires rods

Equilibrium of the rod requires that
`x_(1)=2x_(2)==3x_(3)`........`(2)`
`:. x_(1)+(x_(1))/(2)+(x_(3))/(3)=(3)/(2)LalphaDeltaT`
`rArr x_(1)=(9)/(11)LalphaDeltaT`
`:.` Energy stored in spring of spring constant `k`.
`E_(1)=(1)/(2)kx_(1)^(2)=(81)/(242)kL^(2)alpha^(2)DeltaT^(2)`
Similarly
`E_(2)=(81)/(484)kL^(2)alpha^(2)DeltaT^(2)` and `E_(3)=(27)/(242)kL^(2)alpha^(2)DeltaT^(2)`

The system shown in figure consists of three springs and two rods as shown. If the temperature of the rods is increased by delta(t) calculate the energy stored in each of the springs. The springs are initially relaxed. There is no friction.

The moment of ineratia of a uniform thin rod about its perpendicular bisector is I . If the temperature of the rod is increased by Deltat , the moment of inertia about perpendicular bisector increases by (coefficient of linear expansion of material of the rod is alpha ).

When solid is heated , its length changes according to the relation l=l_0(1+alphaDeltaT) , where l is the final length , l_0 is the initial length , DeltaT is the change in temperature , and alpha is the coefficient of linear is called super - facial expansion. the area changes according to the relation A=A_0(1+betaDeltaT) , where A is the tinal area , A_0 is the initial area, and beta is the coefficient of areal expansion. The coefficient of linear expansion of brass and steel are alpha_1 and alpha_2 If we take a brass rod of length I_1 and a steel rod of length I_2 at 0^@C , their difference in length remains the same at any temperature if

Two rods of different materials and identical cross sectional area, are joined face to face at one end their free ends are fixed to the rigid walls. If the temperature of the surroundings is increased by 30^(@)C , the magnitude of the displacement of the joint of the rod is (length of rods l_(1) = l_(2) = 1 unit , ratio of their young's moduli, Y_(1)//Y_(2) = 2 , coefficients of linear expansion are alpha_(1) and alpha_(2) )

A brass rod is 69.5 cm long and an aluminum rod is 49.0 cm long when both rods are at an initial temperature of 0^(@)C . The rods are placed in line with a gap of 1.5mm between them. The distance between the far ends of the rods remains same throughout. the temperapure is raised until the two rods are barely in contact. The coefficients of linear expansion of brass and aluminum are 2.0xx10^(-5)K^(-1) and 2.4xx10^(-5)K^(-1) respectively. In figure, the temperature at which contact of the rods barely occurs, in .^(@)C is closest to: z
