Two straight thin bars, one of brass and the other of steel are joined together side by side by short steel cross-pieces at `0^(@)C`, one cm long, the centre lines of the bars being one cm apart. When heated to `100^(@)C`, the composite bar becomes bent into the arc of a circle. Calculate the radius of this circle. `alpha` for brass = `19xx10^(-6)per""^(@)C,andalpha` for steel = `11xx10^(-6)per""^(@)C`,

Text Solution
