Find the stress developed inside a tooth cavity filled with copper when hot tea at temperature of 57°C is durnk. (Take temperature of tooth to be 37°C, α=1.7×10−5oC−1 and bulk modulus for copper =140×109Nm−2
A
1.43×108Nm−2
B
4.13×108Nm−2
C
2.12×104Nm−2
D
3.12×104Nm−2
Answer
1.43×108Nm−2
Explanation
Solution
Volumetric strain in tooth cavity=VΔV
Let γbe the coefficient of volume expansion with the change in temperature of ΔT∘C.
Change in volume is ΔV=γVΔTOr VΔV=γΔT
Thermal stress in tooth cavity=β×Volumteric strain =β×γΔT
=β×3αΔT (∵γ=3α)
=140×109×3×1.7×10−5×(57∘C−37∘C)
=1.73×108Nm−2
