Question 16
Open questionXE-DNAT2 marksNeeds review
A bar of length 1 m, having a uniform area of cross section 1000 mm², is fixed at one end and subjected to a uniaxial tensile load of 200 kN at the other end. Along with the tensile load, the rod also experiences a uniform temperature rise ΔT = 100 °C. The material of the rod has a Young’s modulus E = 200 GPa and coefficient of thermal expansion α = 1×10⁻⁵/°C. The elongation of the rod (in mm) is ________.

A solid rod, with uniform circular cross section, of length 100 mm and diameter 100 mm is subjected to a uniaxial tensile load. As a result, the increase in length of the rod is observed to be 1 mm while the reduction in diameter of the rod is observed to be 0.03 mm. If the Young’s modulus of the material of the rod is 260 GPa, the shear modulus (in GPa) of the material of the rod is ________.
