A steel wire of length 'L' and area of cross-section 'A' is suspended from rigid support. If ' Y ^ is the Young's modulus of material of the wire and ' ' is the coefficient of linear expansion, then the increase in tension when temperature falls by t^ C is
Options
- AYA t
- BYA t
- CY t
- DL t Y
Correct answer
B. YA t
Step-by-step solution
Let F be tension developed in the wire. Y = F / A L / L As L = La T Y = F Aa T or F = Y Aa T
