A planar frame is made of thin uniform rods. The length of section AB and EF is l1{l}_{1} and its coefficient of linear expansion is α1{\alpha}_{1}. The length of section CD is l2{l}_{2} and its coefficient of linear expansion is α2{\alpha}_{2}. CB and DE are of the same length having coefficient of linear expansion α2{\alpha}_{2}. Points A, B, E and F reside on same line, that is, sections AB and EF overlap. Then the ratio l1l2\dfrac{{l}_{1}}{{l}_{2}} for which the distance between end A and end F remains the same at all temperatures is α2nα1\dfrac{{\alpha}_{2}}{n{\alpha}_{1}} then find the value of nn.


A planar frame is made of thin uniform rods. The length of section AB and EF is l _ 1 and its coefficient of linear

Correct answer

2

Step-by-step solution

For distance between A and F to remain constant, extension in CD = extension in AB + extension in EF

∴Δl2=2Δl1⇒l2α2Δθ2=2l1α1Δθ∴ \Delta{l}_{2} = 2\Delta{l}_{1} ⇒ {l}_{2}{\alpha}_{2}\Delta{\theta}_{2} = 2{l}_{1}{\alpha}_{1}\Delta\theta

Or l1l2=α22α1\dfrac{{l}_{1}}{{l}_{2}} = \dfrac{{\alpha}_{2}}{2{\alpha}_{1}}

n=2n = 2
