Consider two aluminum rods of length 1 m, one twice as thick as the other. If a compressive force F is applied to both rods, their lengths are reduced by  and , respectively.The ratio ΔLthick rod/ΔLthin rod is:

a.) =1

b.) <1

c.) >1

The ratio is less than 1 i.e   option B is correct

Explanation:

The Young Modulus of a material is generally calculated with this formula

 Where is the stress =

              is the strain =

  Making Strain the subject

now in this question we are that the same tension was applied to both wires so

      would be constant

Hence

for the two wire we have that

      Looking at young modulus formula

Now we are told that a comprehensive force is applied to the wire so for this question

                is constant

And given that the length are the same

so  

Now we are told that one is that one rod is twice as thick as the other

So it implies that one would have an area that would be two times of the other

  Assuming that

So

From the question the length are equal

So  

Hence the ratio is less than 1

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
