A rail track made of steel having a length of 10 m is clamped on a railway line at its two ends (Figure). On a summer day, due to a rise in temperature by 20°C, it is deformed as shown in the figure. What is the displacement of the center, denoted as x, if the coefficient of linear expansion for steel is αsteel = 1.2 × 10-5/°C?
