Two rods identical in geometry but of different materials having co-efficient of thermal expansion α1 & α2 and Young’s modulii Y1 & Y2 respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of the rods. If α1 : α2 = 2 : 6 the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equal provided Y1 : Y2 is equal to :

A thermally isolated vessel contains 100 g of water at 0 °C. When the air above the water is pumped out, some water freezes and some evaporates at 0 °C itself. Then the mass of the ice formed if no water is left in the vessel. Latent heat of vaporization of water at 0 °C=2.10×106 J kg-1 and latent heat of fusion of ice=3.36×105 J kg-1.
