The coefficient of superficial expansion of a solid is $2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ °C}^{-1}$. Its coefficient of linear expansion is:

  • A
    $4 \times 10^{-5} \text{ °C}^{-1}$
  • B
    $3 \times 10^{-5} \text{ °C}^{-1}$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ °C}^{-1}$
  • D
    $1 \times 10^{-5} \text{ °C}^{-1}$

$A$ 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 $= 1.2 \times 10^{-5}\; K^{-1}$)
