A steel rail 30m long is firmly attached...

A steel rail `30m` long is firmly attached to the road be only at its ends. The sun raises the temperature of the rail by `50^(0)C`, causing the rail to buckle. Assuming that the buckled rail consitst of two straight parts metting in the centre, calculate how much the centre of the rail rise? Given, `alpha_(steel) = 12 xx 10^(-6//@)C.
