Required information 10-m-long steel rails of a railroad track (Es = 200 GPa and as = 11.7 × 10-0PC) were laid at a temperature of 9°C. Determine the normal stress in the rails when the temperature reaches 48°C, assuming that the rails are welded to form a continuous track. The normal stress in the rails is MPа.
