To solve the problem, we need to find the distance between the 50 cm mark and the 51 cm mark on a steel meter scale when it is used at a temperature of \(10^\circ C\). The scale was originally calibrated at \(20^\circ C\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem**: - The scale is calibrated at \(20^\circ C\) and gives correct readings at that temperature. - We need to find the distance between the 50 cm mark and the 51 cm mark when the scale is used at \(10^\circ C\). ...
