A brass rod and a lead rod each 80 cm long at `0^@C` are clamped together at one end with their free ends coinciding. The separatioin of free ends of the rods if the system is placed in a steam bath is (`alpha_("brass")=18xx10^(-6)//^(@)C` and `alpha_("lead")=28xx10^(-6)//^(@)C`)A. 0.2 mmB. 0.8 mmC. 1.4 mmD. 1.6 mm

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The brass rod and the lead rod will suffer expansion when placed in steam bath.
Length of brass rod at `100^@C`
`L_("brass")=L_("brass")(1+alpha_("brass")DeltaT)=80[1+18xx10^-6xx100]`
and the length of lead rod at `100^@C`
`L_("lead")=L_("lead")(1+alpha_("lead")DeltaT)=80[1+28xx10^-6xx100]`
Separation of free ends of the rods after heating
`=L_("lead")-L_("brass")=80[28-18]xx10^-4=8xx10^-2cm=0.8` mm
