At40°C,a brass wire of1 mmradius is hung from the ceiling. A small mass,Mis hung from the free end of the wire. When the wire is cooled down from40°C to20°Cit regains its original length of0.2 m.The value ofMis close to:
(Coefficient of linear expansion and Young’s modulus of brass are10-5/°Cand1011 N/m2,respectively;g=10 m s-2)

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Mg=AYlΔl
Δll=αΔT
Mg=AYαΔT
M=AYαΔTg=π×0.0012×1011×10-5×2010=2π
Closest value ofMis 9 kg.
