$A$ unit scale is to be prepared whose length does not change with temperature and remains $20\,cm$,using a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length. The length of both components would change in such a way that the difference between their lengths remains constant. If the length of brass is $40\,cm$,what is the length of iron in $cm$?
($\alpha_{\text{iron}} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} K^{-1}$ and $\alpha_{\text{brass}} = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} K^{-1}$)

  • A
    $59$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $60$
  • D
    $600$

The length of a metal rod at $30^{\circ} C$ is $30 \ cm$. If its temperature is raised to $105^{\circ} C$, its length is increased by $0.027 \ cm$. Then the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is

$A$ brass rod of length $50\; cm$ and diameter $3.0\; mm$ is joined to a steel rod of the same length and diameter. What is the change in length of the combined rod at $250\; ^{\circ}C$,if the original lengths are at $40.0\; ^{\circ}C$? Is there a 'thermal stress' developed at the junction? The ends of the rod are free to expand. (Coefficient of linear expansion of brass $= 2.0 \times 10^{-5}\; K^{-1}$,steel $= 1.2 \times 10^{-5}\; K^{-1}$)
