Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Temperature, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 96

Figure 18.36 shows a composite bar of length \(L = L_1 + L_2\) and consisting of two materials. One material has length \(L_1\) and coefficient of linear expansion \(\alpha_1\); the other has length \(L_2\) and coefficient of linear expansion \(\alpha_2\). (a) What is the coefficient of linear expansion \(\alpha\) for the composite bar? For a particular composite bar, \(L\) is 52.4 cm, material 1 is steel, and material 2 is brass. If \(\alpha = 1.3 \times 10^{-5}/\text{C}^\circ\), what are the lengths (b) \(L_1\) and (c) \(L_2\)?
