Physics - Elasticity Question with Solution | TestHub
In List-I different configurations of uniform rod of mass m, length L, cross-sectional area 'A' and Young's modulus of elasticity 'Y' are as shown. Match the List-I with List-II.
List - I | List - II |
|---|---|
A rod is hanging vertically with fixed support. | (1) Total elongation in the rod is |
A constant force is applied at one end of the rod. | (2) Total elongation in the rod is |
Equal and opposite forces () are applied at both ends of the rod. | (3) Uniform stresses developed in the rod. |
A rod is rotating with constant angular velocity about end point in gravity free space. | (4) Non-uniform stress developed in the rod. |
| (5) Elastic potential energy stored in the rod is |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
P (hanging): tension falls linearly from mg to 0, so elongation , non-uniform stress, energy → 1,4,5
Q (force mg at one end): same linear tension profile as P → 1,4,5
R (equal opposite forces): uniform tension mg throughout, elongation , uniform stress → 2,3
S (rotating): tension varies along the rod, net elongation → 2,4
Answer (A)
