Questions  

Two rods of lengths L1 and L2 are welded together to make a composite rod of length (L1+L2). If the coefficient of linear expansion of the materials of the rods are α1 and α2 respectively, the effective coefficient of linear expansion of the composite rod is

a
L1α1−L2α2L1+L2
b
L1α1+L2α2L1+L2
c
α1α2
d
α1+α22

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Δ1Δt=L1a1;Δ2Δt=L2a2∴ΔLΔt=Δ1Δt+Δ2Δt;L1+L2a=L1a1+L2a2
