Two rods of different materials but identical geometry have thermal coefficients of linear expansion as and 5. The rods are fixed between two rigid and massive walls and are heated to the same temperature. If there is no bending of the rods and the thermal stresses developed in them are equal, then the ratio of their Young's moduli is:
(1) 1: 1
(2) 1: 25
(3) 1: 10
(4) 5: 1
A metal rod has a length of 100 cm and a cross-section area of 1 . By raising its temperature from 0°C to 100°C so that it is not permitted to expand or bend, the tension developed in the rod is: ( and /°C)
(1) dyne
(2) dyne
(3) dyne
(4) dyne
The metal rod (Y = 2 x dyne/sq. cm) of the coefficient of linear expansion 1.6 x per °C has its temperature raised by 20°C. The linear compressive stress to prevent the expansion of the rod is:
(1) 2.4 x dyne/sq. cm
(2) 3.2 x dyne/sq. cm
(3) 6.4 x dyne/sq. cm
(4) 1.6 x dyne/sq. cm
An aluminum rod of length 2m held fixed in a horizontal position from its one end has the other end free. When the temperature of rod increases by 100°C, the thermal stress produced in the rod will be ( = 1.6 x /°C)
(1) Zero
(2) 0.08
(3) 0.1
(4) 0.4
A rod of length 40 cm is stretched between two rigid supports at zero tension. If the temperature is increased by 10°C, the stress produced in it is:
(Young's modulus, Y = 1.2x, coefficient of linear expansion of rod = 2 x /°C)
(1) 2.4 x
(2) 1.2 x
(3) 3.6 ×
(4) 4.8 x

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: | From the earth, heat transfer takes place mainly due to convection. |
Statement II: | Heat from the sun is obtained in the form of IR rays of longer wavelength, which penetrate the atmosphere but heat radiated by the earth is IR rays of shorter wavelength, which is trapped by the atmosphere. |
1. | Statement I is false but Statement II is true. |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are true. |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are false. |
4. | Statement I is true but Statement II is false. |
