Serway & Jewett — Temperature: Problem 45
A 1.00-km steel railroad rail is fastened securely at both ends when the temperature is 20.0°C. As the temperature increases, the rail buckles, taking the shape of an arc of a vertical circle. Find the height \(h\) of the center of the rail when the temperature is 25.0°C. (You will need to solve a transcendental equation.)
