STANDARD Physics Thermal Stress and Strain MCQ Question
Find the stress developed inside a tooth cavity filled with copper when hot tea at temperature of 57°C is drunk. (Take temperature of tooth to be 37°C, α = 1.7 × 10⁻⁵°C and bulk modulus for copper = 140 × 10⁹ Nm⁻²)
1.43 × 10⁸ N m⁻²
4.13 × 10⁸ N m⁻²
2.12 × 10⁴ N m⁻²
3.12 × 10⁴ N m⁻²
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The thermal stress in the tooth cavity is calculated using the formula β × γ × ΔT, where β is the bulk modulus and γ is the volumetric strain coefficient. The change in temperature ΔT is 20°C. Substituting the given values, the stress is found to be 1.43 × 10⁸ N m⁻².
