At a temperature of 60°F, a 0.04-in. gap exists between the ends of the two bars shown. Bar (1) is an aluminum alloy [E = 10,000 ksi; v = 0.32; a = 12.3 × 10-6/°F] bar with a width of 3 in. and a thickness of 0.75 in. Bar (2) is a stainless steel [E = 28,000 ksi; v = 0.12; a = 8.9 x 10-6/°F] bar with a width of 2 in. and a thickness of 0.75 in. The supports at A and C are rigid. Determine the lowest temperature at which the two bars contact each other. (1) 3 in. 32 in. O 80.1°F O 118.6°F O 150.7°F 132.9°F O 110.9°F B ↑ 2 in. 44 in. 0.04-in. gap
