Free to expand no give thermal stress we consider thermal stress because the temperature is given.

No force hence no stress. When temperature has an effect on body thermal stress comes into action.

Here temperature is changing there so thermal stress is produced there are no stress produced.

Vishal said:   8 years ago
Stress is induced only when there is obstruction otherwise there will no stresses are induced.

Stress depending on temperature, s = alpha * t * e.
But here not constrained so no stress.

Sagar said:   1 decade ago
This Bar Is The Free to Expand. Hence no Resisting force is there so no stress Developed.

Nisha said:   1 decade ago
Will come into play since expansion is not restricted that's why no stress is occurring.

Vicky said:   1 decade ago
Body itself tends to restrict the expansion, there must be compressive stress induced.

Udhayaraj said:   1 decade ago
If the bar is free to expand or contract there will be no stress induced in the body.

Kavita said:   9 years ago
The bar is free to elongate as there is no restriction hence stress induced is zero.
