At 40°C, a brass wire of 1 mm radius is hung from the ceiling. A small mass, M is hung from the free end of the wire. When the wire is cooled down from 40°C  to 20°C it regains its original length of 0.2 m. The value of M is close to:
(Coefficient of linear expansion and Young’s modulus of brass are 10-5/°C and 1011 N/m2, respectively; g=10 m s-2 )
  1. 0.9 kg
  2. 0.5 kg
  3. 1.5 kg
  4. 9 kg

Solution

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