Question

A steel rod of length 1 m is heated from 25C to 75C keeping its length constant. The longitudinal strain developed in the rod is (Given: Coefficient of linear expansion of steel =12×106/C) n×104 . Report n.

Solution

Strain developed:
=αΔT=(12×106)(50)=6×104
Strain will be negative, as the rod is in a compressed state.
Why this question?

Strain without changing length- yes that happens!
