The coefficient of linear expansion of a rod of length 2m varies with distance x from end of the rod as \alpha = {\alpha _o} + {\alpha _1}x where

{\alpha _o} = 1.5 \times {10^{ - 5}}{/^0}C,\,\,{\alpha _1} = 2.5 \times {10^{ - 6}}{/^0}C.

Find the increase in length of the rod when heated through 350°C.

a
1.225 mm
b
0.1225 mm
c
12.25 m
d
122.5 mm

detailed solution

Correct option is C
