A bimetallic strip made of brass and steel strips shown in the figure

1.	A bimetallic strip made of brass and steel strips shown in the figure given below is heated. What shape does it acquire? (alpha of brass =19xx10^(-6)//""^(0)C and alpha of steel =11xx10^(-6)//""^(0)C.) ("Brass")/("Steel")
Answer» Solution :It bends with brass on convex side as `ALPHA` of brass is GREATER than `alpha` of STEEL.
