Q. A compressive force, F is applied at the two ends of a long thin steel rod. It is hated, simultaneously, such that its temperature increases by
△T . The net change in its length is zero. Let l be the length of the rod, A its area of cross-section, Y its Young, s modulus, and
α its coefficient of linear expansion. Then, F is equal to :
- l2Yα△T
- lAYα△T
- AYα△T
- AYα△T
