Q.4 Solve any two of the following (8 Marks)

1.

i. A composite wire is prepared by joining a tungsten wire and steel wire end to end.
Both the wires are of the same length and the same area of cross section. If this
composite wire is suspended to a rigid support and a force is applied to its free end, it
gets extended by 3.25mm. Calculate the increase in length of tungsten wire and steel
wire separately. [Given: Ysteel = 2 × 1011N/m2 ,

YTungsten = 3.40 × 108 N/m2.

ii. A sheet of brass is 50 cm long and 8 cm broad at 0 °C. If the surface area at 100 °C
is 401.57cm2 , find the coefficient of linear expansion of brass.

2.

i. Calculate the rate of loss of heat through a glass window of area 1000 cm2 and
thickness of 4 mm, when temperature inside is 27 °C and outside is -5 °C. Coefficient
of thermal conductivity of glass is 0.022 cal/ s cm °C.

ii. Calculate the work done in stretching a steel wire of length 2m and cross sectional
area 0.0225mm2 when a load of 100 N is slowly applied to its free end. [Young’s
modulus of steel= 2×1011 N/m2 ].

3.

i. What is the strain in a cable of original length 50m whose length increases by 2.5cm
when a load is lifted?

ii. An electric kettle takes 20 minutes to heat a certain quantity of water from 0°C to
its boiling point. It requires 90 minutes to turn all the water at 100°C into steam. Find
the latent heat of vaporisation. (Specific heat of water = 1cal/g°C)
