With rise in temperature, the Young's modulus of elasticity:

Solution & Explanation

Related Formula

Intermolecular forces weaken as thermal agitation increases:

Y = StressStrain
Core Logic

When temperature rises, the mean separation between atoms or molecules increases due to thermal expansion. This weakens the intermolecular binding forces, making the material easier to deform for the same amount of applied stress. Consequently, the value of Young's modulus decreases with a rise in temperature.

Step 1: Final Conclusion

Thus, Young's modulus of elasticity decreases with the increase in temperature.

Q58 jee_main_2024_31_jan_morning Bulk Modulus
The depth below the surface of sea to which a rubber ball be taken so as to decrease its volume by 0.02% is ________ m. (Take density of sea water = 10³ kgm⁻³, Bulk modulus of rubber = 9 × 10⁸ Nm⁻², and g = 10 ms⁻²)
Numerical Answer. Answer: 18 to 18

Solution

β = (-Δ P)/((Δ V)/(V)) Δ P = ρ g h
Core Logic

The change in pressure Δ P is the hydrostatic pressure at depth h.

Δ P = -β (Δ V)/(V) ρ g h = -β (Δ V)/(V)
Step 2: Calculation

Given values: ρ = 10³ kg/m³ g = 10 m/s² β = 9 × 10⁸ N/m² (Δ V)/(V) = -0.02% = -(0.02)/(100)

Substitute into the equation:

10³ × 10 × h = - (9 × 10⁸) × (-(0.02)/(100)) 10⁴ × h = 9 × 10⁸ × 2 × 10⁻⁴ 10⁴ h = 18 × 10⁴ h = 18 m
