A copper rod of 88   c m and an aluminum rod of unknown length have their increase in length independent of increase in temperature. The length of aluminum rod is α C u = 1.7 × 10 - 5   K - 1   a n d   α Al = 2.2 × 10 - 5   K - 1  
Options
- A6.8 c m
- B113.9 c m
- C88 c m
- D68 c m
Correct answer
D. 68 c m
Step-by-step solution
Increase in length is independent of temperature, L cu   α cu = L Al   α Al L Al = 88   c m 1.7 × 10 - 5 2.2 × 10 - 5 = 68   c m
