An aluminum pipe has a length of 54 m at a temperature of 10°C. An adjacent steel pipe at the same temperature is 8 mm longer. At what temperature will the aluminum pipe be 24 mm longer than the steel pipe? Assume that the coefficient of thermal expansion for the aluminum is 22.5×106/°C and that the coefficient of thermal expansion for the steel is 12.5×10-6/°C.
