A rod having α = 1*10^-5per °C and length of 70cm has one of its end rigidly connected to another rod of length 1m and α= 0.5*10^-5per °C. Find the new length of the two joined rods when their temperature is increased by 30℃.(a) 170.021cm(b) 169.021cm(c) 171.031cm(d) 170.031cmThis question was posed to me in semester exam.My doubt is from Thermal Expansion in division Thermal Properties of Matter of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (a) 170.021cm

For explanation I would say: The NEW length of first rod: I1 = 70(1+1*10^-5*30) = 70.021cm

Similarly I2 = 100(1+ 0.5*10^-5*30) = 100.015cmTherefore, new length = 70.021 + 100.015

= 170.036cm.
