To find the true length of the zinc rod that measures 60.00 cm on a brass scale graduated at 10°C, we need to account for the thermal expansion of the brass scale due to the temperature difference. Here’s how to solve the problem step by step: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Measured length of the zinc rod (L') = 60.00 cm - Temperature at which the scale is graduated (T₀) = 10°C - Temperature at which the measurement is taken (T) = 30°C - Coefficient of linear expansion of brass (α) = 18 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ ...
