Title: The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 17 × 10-6 K-1 and that of steel
Post by: ppk on Mar 14, 2012
The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 17 × 10-6 K-1 and that of steel is 12 × 10-6 K-1. At 12°C a steel rod has a diameter of 2.540 cm and a copper pipe has a diameter of 2.536 cm. If they are heated together to a higher temperature, at what temperature will the rod fit snugly in the pipe?
A) 305°C
B) 329°C
C) 341°C
D) 353°C
E) 376°C
