Question 407: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

Two rods A and B of identical dimensions are at temperature 30

C. If A is heated upto 180
o
C and B upto T
o
C, then the new lengths are the same. If the ratio of the coefficients of linear expansion of A and B is 4 : 3, then the value of T is

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta {\ell _1} = \Delta {\ell _2}$$
$$\ell {\alpha _1}\Delta {T_1} = \ell {\alpha _2}\Delta {T_2}$$
$${{{\alpha _1}} \over {{\alpha _2}}} = {{\Delta {T_1}} \over {\Delta {T_2}}}$$
$${4 \over 3} = {{T - 30} \over {180 - 30}}$$
$$T = {230^o}C$$
