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 .

  1. A 120.20 cm
  2. B 120.15 cm
  3. C 120.03 cm
  4. D 120.06 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 120.15 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\ell_{\text {final }}=\ell_0\left(1+\alpha_{ A } \Delta T \right)+\ell_0\left(1+\alpha_{ B } \Delta T \right)\) \(=\ell_0\left[2+\left(\alpha_{ A }+\alpha_{ B }\right) \Delta T \right]\) \(=60\left[2+\left(36 \times 10^{-6}\right) \times 70\right]\) \(=60[2+0.0025]\)…
