The question is mostly wrong because if the bar is fixed and if we cool the bar then its tensile but here they didn't say its fixed, hinger or one side fixed, etc.

So the answer is no stress will be right.

If the bar is cooled, it will shrink. But the internal forces will resist that by producing force in opposite direction to shrinkage which means the internal forces produce tension. So the answer is tensile stress if the bar is fixed.

But here the bar is not under any restraints. So there will be no stress.

If the temperature of the bar is lowered, then the nature of stress & strain will be?

Correct answer is tensile stress.

Here -5 degrees denotes that there will be an initial temperature
Thermal stress= E alpha ΔT,
ΔT= T2-T1.

If T2 is -10 degrees that means ΔT =-10-(-5)=-5 degree which means compressive,
If T2 =10 degree.

ΔT= 10-(-5)=15 which means tensile stress . So the answer will be tensile.

When a bar is cooled to - 5° C, it will develop.

Actually, this question denoted 'a bar '.

It is not Mentioned as the bar is fixed, hinged, both sides fixed it. So the bar is free, not fixed and hinged.

That's why the answer is ' no stress '.

(If it is mentioned as "one side is fixed" then the answer is compressive stress generate).

Thank you.

The right answer is compressive stress.

And when free bar then hired then no thermal stress dovlepod.

We know that Stress means Internal Stress/Area

If bar at -5' obviously it goes to compression & hence to resist this compression tensile stress is develop in rod to get its actual length.

When the bar is cooled. It has been prevented for expansion. So it is try to expands. So there will tensile stress is produced.

No stress will be developed.

If end conditions are not given then what should we assume (fixed or free) ? Please explain me.
