Question

A rod of length 40 cm has the coefficient of linear expansion α1=6×10-6/C  o. The other rod has coefficient of linear expansion, α2=4×10-6/C  o. If the difference in their lengths at all temperatures remains the same, the length of the other rod is:

Easy
Solution

l1-l2 =constant       l1α1=l2 α2    l2=α1α2 l1=60 cm
