A steel tape measures that length of a copper rod as 90.0 cm when both are at 10^(@)C , the calibration temperature, for the tape. What would the tape read for the length of the rod when both are at 30^(@)C . Given alpha_("steel")=1.2xx10^(-5)" per".^(@)Cand alpha_(Cu)=1.7xx10^(-5)per .^(@)C

A steel scale measures the length of a copper wire as 80.0 cm when both area at 20^(@)C (the calibration temperature for scale). What would be the scale read for the length of the wire when both are at 40^(@)C ? (Given alpha_("steel") = 11 xx 10^(-6) per ^(@)C and alpha_("copper") = 17 xx 10^(-6) per^(@)C )

Consider a brass rod and a steel rod (80 cm longer than brass rod) at 0^(@)C . It is observed that on increasing temperatures of the two rods by same amount difference in lengths of the two rods does not change. Given that the thermal coefficient of linear expansion for steel and brass are 11xx10^(-6).^(@)C^(-1) and 19xx10^(-6).^(@)C^(-1) respectively. The sum of lengths of the two rods at 0^(@)C is
