Two metal rods \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) each of length \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\) and diameter \(4.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) are joined together at temperature \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What is the change in length of the combined rod at \(230^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ? [Given linear expansion coefficients of rods A and B are respectively, \(2.0 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(\left.1.0 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right]\)

  1. A 4 mm
  2. B 2 mm
  3. C 3 mm
  4. D 1 mm

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \Delta l=\Delta l_{\mathrm{A}}+\Delta l_{\mathrm{B}} \\ & =l_{\mathrm{A}} \alpha_{\mathrm{A}} \Delta \mathrm{T}+l_{\mathrm{B}} \alpha_{\mathrm{B}} \Delta \mathrm{T} \\ & =0.5 \times 200 \times\left(2 \times 10^{-5}+1 \times 10^{-5}\right) \\ & =100 \times 3…
