An aluminum pipe has a length of 59 m at a temperature of 11°C. An adjacent steel pipe at the same temperature is 5 mm longer than the aluminum pipe. At what temperature (in degrees Celsius) will the aluminum pipe be 16 mm longer than the steel pipe? (Assume that the coefficients of thermal expansion of aluminum and steel are a, = 23 x 10-6/°C and az = 12 x 10-6/°c, respectively. Also assume that the temperature of both pipes change equally.)
