-A rod 3 m long is heated from (10 to 90) °C, if the modulus of elasticity equal to 10000O MN/m2, and coefficient of thermal expansion = 0.000012 per °C, the new long of rod after expansion is 0.168 cm 0.288 cm 0.208 cm 0.348 cm 0.388 cm Other:
An aluminum pipe has a length of 69 m at a temperature of 8°C.  An adjacent steel pipe at the same temperature is 5 mm longer.  At what temperature will the aluminum pipe be 15 mm longer than the steel pipe?  Assume that the coefficient of thermal expansion for the aluminum is 22.5×10-6/°C and that the coefficient of thermal expansion for the steel is 12.5×10-6/°C.
