Temperature & Thermal Expansion
Composite Rod Thermal Expansion
An aluminium and steel rods having same lengths and cross-sections are joined to make total length of 120 cm at 30°C. The coefficient of linear expansion of aluminium and steel are 24 × 10–6/°C and 1.2 × 10–5/°C, respectively. The length of this composite rod when its temperature is raised to 100°C, is _____ cm.
