Questions  

'A' is a steel rod of length IA and 'B' a copper rod of length lB. Values of lA and lB such that lA -lB = 5 cm at all temperatures, are :
(Given αCu=1.7×10-5/C  o,αsteel=1.1×10-5/C  o)

a
21.4 cm, 16.4 cm
b
10.8 cm, 5.8 cm
c
14.2 cm, 9.2 cm
d
32.4 cm, 27.4 cm

detailed solution

Correct option is C

lA'-lB' =lA(1+αA∆T)-lB(1+αB∆T)=constant ⇒           lAαA=lBαB ⇒           11lA=17lB Also          lA-lB=5 So                     lA=14.2 cm and                   lB =9.2 cm
