To solve the problem of finding the average radius of curvature of a bimetallic plate made of copper and tungsten at a temperature of 200°C, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two plates, copper and tungsten, riveted together. At 0°C, they are flat, and we need to determine the radius of curvature when the temperature is raised to 200°C. The coefficients of linear expansion for copper and tungsten are given. ### Step 2: Identify the Given Data - Thickness of each plate, \( \sigma = 2 \, \text{mm} = 0.002 \, \text{m} \) - Coefficient of linear expansion for copper, \( \alpha_{\text{Cu}} = 1.7 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{K}^{-1} \) ...
