Temperature stress= young modulus x coefficient of thermal expansion x stress x temperature.
Stress in bar A/ Stress in bar B =young modules of a/ young modulus of b x coefficient of thermal expansion of a /coefficient of thermal expansion of b = 2 x 2 =4.
Stress in bar A/ Stress in bar B =young modules of a/ young modulus of b x coefficient of thermal expansion of a /coefficient of thermal expansion of b = 2 x 2 =4.
