An aluminium and steel rods having same lengths and cross-sections are joined to make total length of 120 cm at \(30^{\circ} C\). The coefficient of linear expansion of aluminium and steel are \(24 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C\) and \(1.2 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C\), respectively. The length of this composite rod when its temperature is raised to \(100^{\circ} C\), is _________ cm .
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 120.15 cm
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\ell_{\text {final }}=\ell_0\left(1+\alpha_{ A } \Delta T \right)+\ell_0\left(1+\alpha_{ B } \Delta T \right)\)
\(=\ell_0\left[2+\left(\alpha_{ A }+\alpha_{ B }\right) \Delta T \right]\)
\(=60\left[2+\left(36 \times 10^{-6}\right) \times 70\right]\)
\(=60[2+0.0025]\)
\(=120.15 cm\)
\(=\ell_0\left[2+\left(\alpha_{ A }+\alpha_{ B }\right) \Delta T \right]\)
\(=60\left[2+\left(36 \times 10^{-6}\right) \times 70\right]\)
\(=60[2+0.0025]\)
\(=120.15 cm\)
